During which phase of the cell cycle does most cell growth occur?

• cytokinesis

• interphase

• metaphase

• prophase

Why must DNA replication have to occur before a cell can divide by mitosis?

• a.   So the two new cells have the same amount of chromosomes as the parent cell

• to cause one of the cells produced to have a double the number of chromoomes as the parent cell

• to allow crossing over to occur in each of the cells produced

• to cause all of the cells produced to have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell

What phase of mitosis is the onion root cell number six in? (click the picture to zoom in)

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

How do some chemicals increase a person's risk of getting cancer?

• Damages genes that control cell cycle regulation

• by causing a vitmain D deficiency

• by increasing toxins in the skin

• by causing a decrease in immune response

What would MOST LIKELY be produced when a cell with 8 chromosomes undergoes mitosis?

• Two cells with four chromosomes each

• Two cells with eight chromosomes each

Which of these explain why cells do cell division? (Read ALL Answer choices!)

• Growth

• Repair

• Asexual Reproduction

• ALL of these are correct

While in the womb, the webbed fingers of the embryo undergo programmed cell death, also known as

• cytokinesis

• apoptosis

• interphase

• DNA replication

One difference between a cancel cell and a normal cell is that

• Cancer cells divide uncontrollably

• Cancer cells cannot make copies of DNA

• Normal cells divide uncontrollably

• Normal cells cannot make copies of DNA
