Cell Cycle Quiz

The three stages of the cell cycle are __________, mitosis, and

cytokinesis.

• interphase

• anaphase

• metaphase

• prophase

Identical cells formed during cell division are called:

• daughter organelles

• daughter cycles

• daughter nucleus

• daughter cells

The process by which a cell nucleus divides is called:

• interphase

• mitosis

• cytokinesis

• cell cycle

The final stage of the cell cycle is called:

• Interphase

• mitosis

• cytokinesis

• daughter cells

What does DNA Replication mean?

• DNA is made.
• DNA makes new cells. 
• DNA copies itself.
• DNA starts the cell cycle.

Which part of the Cell Cycle takes the longest?

• Interphase
• Mitosis
• Prophase
• Cytokinesis

Fruit fly body cells have 8 chromosomes. After mitosis, you would expect a resulting fruit fly daughter cell to have ...

• 16 chromosomes.
• 46 chromosomes.
• 8 chromosomes.
• 4 chromosomes.

In what phase does chromatin condense to form chromosomes?

• Mitosis
• Interphase
• Prophase
• Anaphase

Which of the following phrases best describes cytokenesis

• division of the cytoplasm
• division of the nucleus
• division of DNA
• division of surface area

Match each phase with its correct description

• S Phase

• Cells must replicate their DNA before cell division to ensure that identical genetic information is passed to  the next generation.

• G2 Phase

• Cell grows rapidly while carrying out normal functions.

• G1 Phase

• • FINISHES GROWING

  • Errors in DNA replication are checked- if something is wrong, cell needs to fix its errors before it divides!
