Mitosis Quiz

What is the purpose of mitosis?

• To repair damaged cells

• To make cells grow bigger

• To produce sperm and egg cells

• To organize DNA

Which process is responsible for making identical cells?

• Interphase

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• Cytokinesis

What happens to the DNA during interphase?

• It is duplicated

• It is condensed into chromosomes

• It is repaired

• It is divided into two cells

What is the correct order of the stages in mitosis?

• Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

• Metaphase, Prophase, Anaphase, Telophase

• Telophase, Anaphase, Metaphase, Prophase

• Anaphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Telophase

What happens during prophase?

• New nuclei form on each side

• Chromosomes move away to opposite sides of the cell

• Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell

• Chromosomes condense and become visible

What is the purpose of spindles in mitosis?

• To repair damaged cells

• To split the cytoplasm

• To help move the chromosomes

• To duplicate the DNA

What is the final stage of mitosis?

• Anaphase

• Metaphase

• Prophase

• Telophase

What is the purpose of cytokinesis?

• To duplicate the DNA

• To repair damaged cells

• To help move the chromosomes

• To split the cytoplasm and complete cell division

What would happen if cells didn't divide?

• Cancer would occur

• Cells would grow rapidly

• There would be no growth

• DNA would be lost

What is the role of mitosis in growth and repair?

• To make more cells for growth and repair

• To produce sperm and egg cells

• To organize DNA

• To split the cytoplasm
