Cell Division

Cell division is also known as

• interphase

• meiosis

• mitosis

• replication

Cells go through mitosis

• so an organism can grow

• so parts of an organism can heal after injury

• so an organism can

• all of these

The stages of mitosis are sometimes referred to as

• PMAT

• PMAP

• MPTA

• ATPM

When a cell goes through mitosis, the daughter cells

• are genetically unique from the mother cell

• are genetically identical to the mother cell

• are used in sexual reproduction

• have half the number of chromosomes as the mother cell

Mitosis results in 2 genetically identical diploid cells

• True

• False

While mitosis splits the contents of the nucleus between the daughter cells, cytokineses

• uses microfilaments to pinch the cell in two in animals

• forms a cell plate in plant cells

• divides the cytoplasm and organelles between the daughter cells.

• all of these

Before cell division takes place, DNA has to make an exact copy of itself. This is called

• duplication

• fertilization

• hybridization

• replication
