MITOSIS AND REPLICATION PRACTICE

What process does a multi-cellular organism use to replace its damaged body cells?

• mitosis
• meiosis
• replication
• transcription

Contains the genetic material and serves as the control center of the cell

• nuclear membrane
• spindle fibers
• nucleus
• telophase

What is the result of mitosis?

• 1 cell
• 2 genetically identical cells
• 2 genetically different cells
• 4 genetically identical cells

When a cell goes through mitosis, the daughter cells

• are genetically unique from the mother cell

• are genetically identical to the mother cell

• are used in sexual reproduction

• have half the number of chromosomes as the mother cell

Mitosis results in 2 genetically identical diploid cells

• True

• False

Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?

• In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.

• In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.

• In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.

• In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells.

Before cells can divide, what must be copied?

• mitochondria

• cytoplasm

• DNA

• Cell Wall

What is a series of events a cell goes through as they grow and divide?

• Cell Division

• Cell Cycle

• Cytokinesis

• Mitosis

During the cell cycle, a cell grows

• and dies

• and divides

• without completing cytokinesis

• without completing mitosis

How can cancer cells be described?

• completing abnormal mitosis

• dividing out of control

• lacking essential nutrients

• shrinking to a small size
