mitosis and meiosis

What is mitosis?

• The process in which a cell copies itself

• The process in which reproductive cells are made

• The time when a cell grows and does its job

• The process in which a sperm and egg cell join together

What are the steps of mitosis in order?

• Prophase, metaphase, telophase, anaphase

• Metaphase, prophase, anaphase, telophase

• Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

• Telophase, anaphase, metaphase, prophase

What is a chromosome?

• A cell made by mitosis

• A reproductive cell

• Long, stretched out DNA

• A tightly wound bundle of DNA ready for mitosis

How many chromosomes does a human body cell have?

• 46

• 23

• 26

• 43

How many chromosomes does a human reproductive cell have?

• 46

• 23

• 26

• 43

What does mitosis create?

• Reproductive cells

• 2 different cells

• 2 identical cells

• 4 different cells

Every cell in the human body has 46 chromosomes except a...

• Skin cell

• Brain cell

• Muscle cell

• Reproductive cell

Which of the following is made by mitosis?

• Sperm cells

• Body cells

• Egg cells

• Reproductive cells

The chromosome number of a cell produced by mitotic cell division is represented by 2n. If that cell had produced by meiotic cell division, its chromosome number would be represented by:

• n

• n/2

• 2n

• 4n

One difference between cell division in plant cells and animal cells

• centrioles form in plant cells but not in animal cells

• plants form a cell plate between daughter cells but animal do not

• a double nucleus forms in the animal cell but not in the plant cell

• more cytoplasm form in the animal cells than in plant cells
