Mitosis Video Quizizz

What is the primary reason your body undergoes mitosis?

• To increase genetic diversity

• To reduce the number of chromosomes in cells

• For growth and repair of the body

• To produce sperm and egg cells

What type of cells does mitosis produce?

• Cells with half the number of chromosomes

• Sperm and egg cells

• Identical body cells

• Different cells with varied functions

What is not a function of mitosis?

• Replacement of old cells

• Production of gametes

• Repair of damaged tissues

• Growth of the organism

What phase do cells spend most of their time in during the cell cycle?

• Telophase

• Prophase

• Interphase

• Mitosis

How many chromosomes are in most human body cells before mitosis begins?

• 64

• 23

• 92

• 46

What is the correct order of the stages of mitosis?

• Anaphase, Metaphase, Prophase, Telophase

• Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Prophase

• Telophase, Anaphase, Metaphase, Prophase

• Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

What happens during the metaphase stage of mitosis?

• Chromosomes align in the center of the cell

• Chromosomes duplicate

• DNA replicates

• The cell splits into two

What is the role of spindles during mitosis?

• They replicate DNA

• They duplicate chromosomes

• They help move chromosomes to the cell poles

• They create new cells

What is cytokinesis?

• The final separation into two cells by splitting the cytoplasm

• The process of DNA replication

• The division of the cell nucleus

• The alignment of chromosomes in the middle of the cell

Why is mitosis important for cancer research?

• It is a process of reducing the number of chromosomes

• It involves uncontrolled cell growth

• It helps in the production of sperm and egg cells

• It decreases genetic diversity
