Bio Sem 2 Review

Compared to small cells, large cells have more trouble

• dividing

• storing materials and waste

• moving needed materials in and waste out of the fcell

• producing daughter cells

the process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells is called

• cellular respiration

• metaphase

• interphase

• mitosis

An advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction is that sexual reproduction

• takes less time

• takes more time

• provides genetic diversity

• produces identical offspring

When during the cell cycle is a cell's DNA replicated?

• G1

• G2

• S phase

• M phase

Which of the following has the phases of mitosis in the correct order?

• prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

• metaphase, anaphase,

  telophase, prophase

• anaphase, metaphase, telophase, prophase

• anaphase, telophase, prophase, metaphse

During normal mitotic cell division, a parent cell that has four chromosomes will produce two daughter cells, each containing

• two chromosomes

• four chromosomes

• eight chromosomes

• sixteen chromosomes

Cancer is a disorder in which some cells have lost their ability to control their

• size

• growth rate

• surface area

• spindle fibers

During early development, all cells in the embryo of a multicellular organism are identical. Later on in development, the cells will become specialized through a process called

• apoptosis

• differentiation

• interphase

• cytokinesis

Why are stem cells important?

• they have specialized DNA

• they can divide

• they can potentially turn into other cell types

• they can't become cancer cells

The different forms of a gene are called

• traits

• alleles

• hybrides

• pollinators
