Cell Cycle, Cell Division, and Cancer

The growth phase of the cell cycle is called

• Interphase

• Telophase

• Prophase

• Anaphase

The division phase of the cell cycle is called...

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• Metaphase

• Cytokinesis

During Metaphase where do the chromosomes line up?

• Middle of the cell

• Outside the cell

• Edges of the Cell

• Around the Cell

During Anaphase what are separated?

• Spindle Fibers

• Sister Chromatids

• Telomeres

• Chromosomes

How is cytokinesis different in plant cells vs. animal cells?

• In plant cells, cytokinesis uses a cell plate. In animal cells, cytokinesis uses a cleavage furrow.

• In plant cells, cytokinesis uses a cleavage furrow. In animal cells, cytokinesis uses a cell plate.

• In plant cells, cytokinesis happens twice, in animal cells cytokinesis happens once

• In plant cells, cytokinesis happens once, in animal cells cytokinesis happens twice.

What is the end result of mitosis?

• 2 identical body cells

• 2 gametes

• 2 zygotes

• 2 different body cells

In the S stage of interphase....

• The cell grows
• The nucleus divides
• The cell membrane divides
• The DNA is replicated
