Cell Divisions

Use the illustration to answer the question. Which statement best describes the phase of the cell cycle shown?

• The cell is in prophase of mitosis because the number of chromosomes has doubled.

• The cell is in prophase I of meiosis because the number of chromosomes has doubled.

• The cell is in telophase of mitosis because the cell is separating and contains two copies of DNA

• The cell is in telophase of meiosis because the cell is separating and contains two copies of each chromosome.

Which event describes cellular activities that would be observed during cytokinesis in an animal cell?

• The cytoplasm of the parent cell divides following the division of the nucleus.

• The chromosomes line up at the equator of the spindle in their most tightly condensed form.

• The DNA and proteins condense and the centrioles move toward the opposite ends of the cell to form a spindle.

• The spindle fibers, attached to the two sister chromatids of each chromosome, contract and separate as the chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell.

• anaphase II -> telophase II -> cytokinesis II

• prophase -> metaphase -> anaphase

• metaphase II -> anaphase II -> telophase II

Mitosis and meiosis are processes by which animal and plant cells divide. Which statement best describes a difference between mitosis and meiosis?

• Meiosis is a multi-step process.

• Mitosis occurs only in eukaryotic cells.

• Meiosis is used in the repair of an organism.

• Mitosis produces genetically identical daughter cells.

Which statement best describes the outcomes of both meiosis and mitosis?

• Cell division results in daughter cells that contain DNA .

• Each daughter cell has two complete sets of chromosomes.

• Within a cell, two chromosomes pair up and exchange segments of genetic material.

• Genetically identical daughter cells are produced that can function as body cells or sex cells.
