Intro to Cell Division and Cell Cycle

How many chromosomes does a human body cell have, total?

• 48

• 46

• 23

• 47

The longest phase of the cell cycle 

• prophase
• interphase
• metaphase
• mitosis

The structure of coiled DNA and proteins that forms in the cells nucleus prior to mitosis is 

• centromere
• centriole
• chromosome
• chromatid

A jelly-like substance found inside a cell surrounding its organelles is

• cytokenisis
• cytoplasm
• mitosis
• epithelial

The first stage of the cell cycle during which the cell matures and prepares to divide and copies its DNA; The stage the cell stays in the most

• interphase
• prophase
• metaphase
• anaphase

What is the result of mitosis?

• 1 cell
• 2 genetically identical cells
• 2 genetically different cells
• 4 genetically identical cells

Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?

• In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.

• In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.

• In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.

• In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells.

Before cells can divide, what must be copied?

• mitochondria

• cytoplasm

• DNA

• Cell Wall

Cytokinesis is a phase of mitosis. 

• True
• False 

DNA is replicated during ______ of the cell cycle.

• Gap 1

• Synthesis (S phase)

• Gap 2

• Gap 0
