Cell Cycle Quiz

When groups of cells work together they form a ________

What is the period where a cell is growing and developing?

• Mitotic Phase

• Interphase

• Cytokinesis

• Telophase

Which of these does NOT occur during interphase?

• Cell growth

• Duplication of organelles

• Duplication of DNA

• Breakdown of the nucleus

The copying of DNA happens during which stage of interphase?

• G1

• S

• G2

• Mitotic

Which of these is TRUE about the cells produced by mitosis?

• They are identical to the original cell

• They are called "son cells"

• They are the a combination of the DNA of two parent cells

• They are sex cells

Which of these occurs during prophase?

• DNA is copied

• The chromosomes are pulled to opposite sides of the cell

• New nuclei form around two sets of chromosomes

• The nuclear membrane breaks down

Which of these occurs during metaphase?

• Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell

• The cell membrane disappears

• Sister chromatids are pulled away from each other

• DNA condenses into visible chromosomes

Which of these occurs during anaphase?

• The nucleolus disappears

• Sister chromatids are pulled by spindle fibers to opposite sides of the cell

• The centrioles appear and spindle fibers line up the chromosomes in the center of the cell

• Two new daughter cells are formed

Which of these occurs during telophase?

• DNA is copied and condensed into chromosomes

• The furrow deepens until two new, identical cells are formed

• Spindle fibers disappear and new nuclei form

• Chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of the cell by spindle fibers

What is the second part of the mitotic phase where the cytoplasm of the cell divides, resulting in two identical daughter cells?
