Mitosis

Cells that make up the body

• sperm

• egg

• gametes

• somatic

What is the cell process called that produces identical cells?

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• Photosynthesis

• Cellular Respiration

The main goal of organisms is to produce as many offspring as possible to carry on their genetic information.

• True

• False

The daughter cells in mitosis are...

• Identical
• Unique

When a cell is not actively dividing, it is in what phase?

• interphase
• anaphase
• prophase
• telophase

What happens in interphase (choose 2)

• Cell grows and developes

• DNA lines up in middle

• DNA pulls apart

• DNA replicates

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.

What happens in Prophase (choose 3)

• DNA condenses (packs up)

• Spindle fibers appear

• Daughter cells separate

• DNA lines up in middle

• Nuclear envelope (membrane) dissolves

What happens in anaphase? (choose 1)

• DNA replicates

• Chromatids pull apart to opposite sides

• DNA lines up in middle

• Cell divides

What happens in telophase? (choose 2)

• Two new nuclei form

• Daughter cells separate into two cells

• DNA pulls apart to opposite sides

• cytoplasm begins to pinch apart
