What is the purpose of mitosis?

• To increase the surface area of a cell
• To allow cells to divide for growth, repair, and renewal
• For increasing genetic variation within a species
• To allow for DNA replication and protein synthesis

Why is it important for the chromosomes to condense during mitosis?

• to facilitate DNA replication

• to facilitate chromosome movement without tangling and breaking

• to facilitate cytokinesis and formation of a cell plate

• to facilitate microtubule spindle formation

Which of these is a reason that the chromosomes in the cell have two chromatids?

• Each chromatid contains unique genetic information.

• It allows the cell to divide into genetically identical daughter cells.

• A chromosome requires two chromatids to initiate protein synthesis.

• It allows genetic information to cross over between sister chromatids during mitosis, increasing genetic diversity.

In mitosis, the two resulting cells are

• different from the starting cell and identical to each other.
• different from the starting cell and different from each other.
• identical to the starting cell and different from each other.
• identical to the starting cell and identical to each other.

Chromosomes are made of

• DNA
• RNT
• WWE
• DMA

What are the structures in this image called?

• chromosomes

• centromere

• sister chromatids

• chromatin
