Molecular Biology Review

What happens in cytokinesis?

• The chromosomes become visible; nucleus disappears; spindles form

• The chromosomes align in the middle of the cell

• The DNA is duplicated

• The cytoplasm divides into two new daughter cells

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

Mitosis results in the formation of...

• Two identical cells with all of the original chromosomes
• Two different cells with half of the original chromosomes
• Four identical cells with all of the original chromosomes
• Four different cells with half of the original chromosomes

In S stage, during ​ (a)   , amount of ​ (b)   is doubled to be later divided ​ (c)   into two daughter cells.

• DNA replication
• genetic material
• equally
• unequally
• genetic information
• protein synthesis

The chemical colchicine is used in the production of karyotypes. Colchicine prevents spindle fibers from forming during the cell cycle. What is a result of preventing spindle fibers from forming?

• The cell cycle skips G₀ phase and repeats G₁ phase.

• Mitotic division is skipped, and the cell cycle proceeds to cytokinesis.

• Mitotic division stops in metaphase and cannot proceed to anaphase.

• The cell cycle skips S phase and proceeds to G₂ phase.
