Mitosis - Eastern High

The process that results in the formation of 2 separate, identical daughter cells.

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Cytokinesis

• Prophase

What is the correct order of the phases in mitosis (starting with a parent cell)?

• Anaphase, Interphase, Metaphase, Prophase, Cytokinesis, Telophase

• Anaphase, Cytokinesis, Interphase, Metaphase, Prophase, Telophase

• Interphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Prophase, Telophase, Cytokinesis

• Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis

During this phase of mitosis, sister chromatids are being pulled apart or separated.

• Anaphase

• Metaphase

• Prophase

• Cytokinesis

Two chromosomes, one from the egg and the other from the sperm, that carry the same set of genes but may have different alleles are called __________.

• Analogous chromosomes

• Sister chromatids

• Homologous chromosomes

• DNA

If two parent cells enter mitosis, how many daughter cells are there by the end of mitosis, after cytokinesis has occurred?

• 2

• 4

• 8

• 16

During which phase of the cell cycle is genetic material duplicated or copied?

• S Phase

• G1 phase

• G2 phase

• M phase

During this phase (after prophase), chromosomes align along the center of the cell (at the _______ plate).

• Anaphase

• Metaphase

• Telophase

• Interphase

During this phase of mitosis, the nuclear membrane dissolves and the chromosomes condense.

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

The nuclear membrane re-forms during this phase.

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

What purposes does mitosis serve?

There are multiple answers - choose all correct answers!

• During development and growth, mitosis populates an organism’s body with cells.

• Reproduction for single-celled eukaryotes like yeast. Mitosis adds new individuals to the population.

• Mitosis makes 2 identical daughter cells from a single parent cell. This is how somatic (body) cells duplicate.

• Throughout an organism’s life, mitosis replaces old, worn-out cells with new ones.
