Cell Division

Base your answer to the following question on The diagram below illustrates the process of cell division. What is the significance of anaphase in this process?

• Anaphase usually ensures that each daughter cell has the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

• Anaphase usually ensures that each daughter cell has twice as many chromosomes as the parent cell.

• In anaphase, the cell splits in half.

• In anaphase, the DNA is being replicated.

What happens during the S-phase of the cell cycle?

• DNA replicates
• Cell size doubles

• chromosomes form

During which phase of the cell cycle is the cell growing and preparing for cellular division?

• cytokinesis

• anaphase

• prophase

• interphase

Which is the correct sequence for the stages of mitotic cell division represented by the diagrams below?

• A → C → D → B
• A → B → C → D

• B → A → D → C

• B → C → D → A

The diagram below can be used to illustrate a process directly involved in

• tissue repair

• meiosis

• recombination

• sexual reproduction

What would most likely result if mitosis was not accompanied by cytoplasmic division?

• two cells, each with one nucleus

• two cells, each without a nucleus

• one cell with two identical nuclei

• one cell without a nucleus

If an organism reproduces asexually, its offspring will most likely be

• genetically different from each other

• produced from specialized cells known as gametes

• genetically identical to the parent

• produced as a result of fertilization
