• Asexual reproduction

• Sexual reproduction

• Both asexual and sexual reproduction

• Neither asexual nor sexual reproduction

What is the longest period of the cell cycle?

• Interphase

• Metaphase

• Mitosis

• Cytokinesis

What is mitosis?

• A form of cell division that produces two different cells

• A form of cell division that produces two identical cells

• A form of cell division that only occurs in unicellular organisms

• A form of cell division that only occurs in multicellular organisms

What is the correct order for the stages of cell division?

• anaphase - metaphase - prophase - telophase - cytokinesis

• prophase - metaphase - anaphase - telophase - cytokinesis

• metaphase - prophase - telophase - anaphase - cytokinesis

• prophase - cytokinesis - metaphase - telophase - anaphase

NAME THIS STAGE OF MITOSIS:

The nuclear membrane breaks down and chromosomes condense while the centrioles move to opposite sides of the cell

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

• Cytokinesis

NAME THIS STAGE OF MITOSIS:

The chromosomes line up single file along the middle of the cell

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

• Cytokinesis

NAME THIS STAGE OF MITOSIS:

The sister chromatids separate to create chromosomes which then move to opposite sides of the cell

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

• Cytokinesis

NAME THIS STAGE OF MITOSIS:

The chromosomes uncoil and new nuclear membranes form

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

• Cytokinesis

NAME THIS STAGE OF MITOSIS:

The cytoplasm is divided as the cell "pinches" and splits into two identical cells

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

• Cytokinesis

Which statement best describes plant and animal cell mitosis?

• Both plant and animal cells go through the same phases of mitosis and cytokinesis

• Plants go through all the stages of mitosis as animal cells but do not go through cytokinesis

• Plant and animal cells prepare for mitosis differently

• Plant cells perform mitosis at a faster rate than animal cells
