Cell Division

What is the result of mitosis?

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

Cell division is also known as

• interphase

• meiosis

• mitosis

• replication

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

Name the process in the diagram. 

• Meiosis 
• Mitosis 
• Endocytosis 
• Phagocytosis 

Which of the following best describes meiosis?

• It is carried out in all tissues that require cell replacement. 
• It occurs only in cells in the reproductive structures of organisms. 
• It happens in all tissues except the brain and spinal cord
• It is the first stage of mitosis 

The diagram shows two strawberry plants. Plant 2 is produced asexually from plant 1. If the leaf cells of plant 1 have 47 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will be found in the leaf cells of plant 2? 

• 14
• 28
• 47
• 112

Mitosis and meiosis are processes involved in cellular reproduction. Which of the following describes an even that results from mitosis but not meiosis? 

• Two stages of cell division 
• Replication of cellular genetic material 
• Daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell
• Four daughter cells that are produced from each parent cell. 

How are sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction different from each other? 

• Sexual reproduction requires two parents and asexual reproduction requires only one parent.
• Asexual reproduction requires two parents and sexual reproduction requires only one parent.
• Mutation rates are lower in sexual reproduction than in asexual reproduction 
• Asexual reproduction occurs only in multicellular organisms 

Which type of reproduction leads to increased genetic variation on a population? 

• Parthenogenesis 
• Asexual reproduction 
• Sexual reproduction 
• Vegetative reproduction 

Brain cells are known to of through mitosis at a rapid pace due to constantly learning and development of skills. Which of the following is not a cell that can go through mitosis?

• Heart cell
• Toenail
• Sperm 
• Liver cell
