Cell Division + Reproduction

What is the cell process called that produces identical cells?

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• Photosynthesis

• Cellular Respiration

Which results in offspring that are genetically unique and display a combination of traits from each parent?

• Sexual

• Asexual

• Neither

• Both

Which type of reproduction results in offspring that are identical to the parent?

• Sexual

• Asexual

• Neither

• Both

What is cancer?

• Uncontrolled cell division/growth

• Cell division (mitosis)

• Growth and repair

Which types of cells do not undergo mitosis?

• Body cells like skin and stomach cells

• Sex cells like egg and sperm cells

What is the purpose of mitosis?

• Growth and repair

• Cellular power generation

• Sexual reproduction

What would we expect to be similar and different in the cell cycles of normal and cancerous cells?

• Cancerous cells do not pass on their genetic material during mitosis, but normal cells do

• Cancerous cells will spend less time in interphase and more time in mitosis compared to normal cells

• Normal cells will only be in interphase and will not go through mitosis, but cancer cells will go through mitosis

When the cells of a zygote change during development to serve a specific function. For example, they become skin cells, nerve cells, etc.

• fertilization

• evolution

• differentiation

Where does implantation of an embryo takes place in

• the ovary

• the uterus

• the cervix

Toxins and alcohol are especially dangerous because they

• diffuse from the mother's blood into the embryo's blood in the placenta

• go directly to the embryo from the digestive system

• can be mixed within the mother's blood and the baby's blood directly
