Cells Part 2

The longest phase of the cell cycle 

• prophase
• interphase
• metaphase
• mitosis

Which phase comes NEXT?

• prophase
• metaphase
• anaphase
• telophase

Identify the phase of mitosis shown

• prophase

• metaphase

• anaphase

• telophase

What is this phase of mitosis?

• prophase
• metaphase
• anaphase
• telophase

During which stage of the cell cycle does the cell spend a majority of its time?

• Prophase
• Interphase
• Metaphase
• Cytokinesis

How does cytokinesis differ in plant and animal cells?

• Cytokinesis only takes place in animal cells.
• Cytokinesis only takes place in plant cells.
• Plant cells form a cell plate, animal cells form a cleavage furrow.
• Animal cells form a cell plate, plant cells form a cleavage furrow.

If a somatic (body) cell in a butterfly contains 24 chromosomes, a butterfly egg would contain

• 3

• 6

• 12

• 24

Meiotic cell division makes sperm and egg cells. In humans, sperms and ova each have _____ chromosomes. Therefore a fertilized egg would create a cell with _____ chromosomes.

• 23, 46

• 46, 23

• 2, 4

• 50, 100

During meiosis I, what happens? 

• Sister chromatids are split
• Homologous chromosomes are split
• Four cells are created
• None of the other choices are correct

What is the result of the cell cycle?

• Three cells

• Four daughter cells

• Two identical cells

• One clone cell
