Mitosis & Meiosis Formative

What is the cell cycle?

• The gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form.
• The study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.
• The branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.
• The series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA to produce two daughter cells.

Which part of the Cell Cycle takes the longest?

• Interphase
• Mitosis
• Prophase
• Cytokinesis

What occurs at the checkpoint in G1?

• Ensure the cell has grown large enough & the original DNA is undamaged

• Ensure the DNA has replicated properly and is undamaged

• Ensure the cell has grown large enough and has duplicated the organelles

• Ensure the cell is still able to carry out normal functions

What can occur to an organism if the cell cycle is not regulated properly?

• The organism will require more food energy because of the cell growth will increase

• The cell cycle will proceed faster and create more cells causing it to grow faster

• Some cells will go through apoptosis but nothing will change for the organism

• Cancer can be caused and non-functioning cells can be produced

What phase is this cell in?

• Cytokinesis
• Mitosis
• Prophase
• Metaphase

What phase is this cell in?

• Mitosis
• Interphase
• Anaphase
• Telophase

What phase is this cell in?

• Mitosis

• Telophase

What part of the cell cycle is this cell in?

• Mitosis
• Interphase

What is the result of cells going through Mitosis?

• 2 genetically identical daughter cells - Diploid Somatic Cells

• 2 genetically unique daughter cells - Haploid Somatic Cells

• 1 genetically unique cell - Diploid Somatic Cell

• 2 Genetically identical daughter cells - Diploid Gamete Cells

What is Apoptosis?

• A tumor

• A protein

• Programmed cell death

• Cell cycle checkpoints
