Lesson 24: Mitosis

During anaphase, sister chromatids are pulled apart by -

• ribosomes

• spindle fibers

• DNA

• centrioles

During _____________, the chromosomes line up along the midline of the cell.

In which of the following stages does DNA replication occur?

• Interphase

• Metaphase

• Prophase

• telophase

When do new cells enter into interphase of the cell cycle to begin growth and reproduction again?

• Before cytokinesis

• Before prophase of mitosis

• After cytokinesis

• After mitosis

New membranes form around the newly formed nuclei and chromosomes uncoil in this stage of mitosis.

• Anaphase

• Metaphase

• Prophase

• Telophase

Which of the following shows the correct order of the phases of mitosis?

• Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase

• Anaphase, metaphase, prophase, and telophase

• Prophase, telophase, metaphase, and anaphase

• Prophase, telophase, metaphase, and anaphase

The best way for the body to produce more red blood cells after blood loss is to -

• create new cells through meiosis

• create new cells through mitosis

• regenerate new cells

• multiply new cells through binary fission

The three stages of the cell cycle are -

• Interphase, binary fission, and mitosis

• Prophase, metaphase, and anaphase

• Regeneration, telophase, and metaphase

• Interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis

Cells produced by mitosis are ___________, which means they contain two complete sets of chromosomes.

Mitosis produces most of the cells of the body, except for -

• red blood cells

• platelets

• skin cells

• gametes
