The Cell Cycle and Mitosis

___ is the period between cell division.

• Interphase

• Telophase

• Cytokinesis

True or false: Mitosis is a type of asexual reproduction.

• True

• False

How many daughter cells are produced at the end of mitosis?

• 2

• 4

• 8

What is the name of the structure in animal cells that helps to organize cell division?

• Chromosome

• Chromatid

• Cytokinesis

• Centriole

During the "s" phase of the cell cycle, DNA is duplicated. Why is this important?

• Allows for each daughter cell to be genetically DIFFERENT.

• Allows for each daughter cell to be genetically IDENTICAL

• Allows for each daughter cell to have 2X the amount of DNA as the parent cell.

• Allows for each daughter cell to have half the amount of DNA as the parent cell
