Mitosis & Meiosis

Which of the following is not a phase of the cell cycle?

• S Phase

• M Phase

• G1 Phase

• G3 Phase

Cell cycles are regulated by CDKs. What is the binding partner for a CDK?

• DNA

• Cyclins

• Checkpoints

• Triglycerides

If a diploid cell has 14 chromosomes, how many chromosomes would the haploid gamete contain?

• 7

• 24

• 13

• 8

How does mitosis differ from Meiosis?

• Meiosis produces daughter cells identical to the parent while Mitosis does not

• Meiosis reduces the chromosome number of the daughter cells while Mitosis does not

• Mitosis produces gametes while Meiosis does not

• Mitosis results in 4 daughter cells while Meiosis results in 2 daughter cells

Which phase of mitosis is characterized by the separation of chromatids?

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

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.

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
