Understanding Mitosis: The Key to Growth and Repair

What common process is responsible for the healing of cuts and growth in size?

• Photosynthesis

• Respiration

• Meiosis

• Mitosis

Why is mitosis crucial for the body?

• For producing sperm and egg cells

• For generating energy

• For digesting food

• For growth and repairing damages

What is NOT a function of mitosis?

• Making sperm and egg cells

• Producing body cells

• Creating identical cells

• Repairing tissue

During which phase does the cell spend most of its life?

• Cytokinesis

• Prophase

• Interphase

• Mitosis

Why is it important for the DNA in new cells to be identical to the original cells?

• To increase genetic diversity

• To maintain the same genetic information

• To prevent genetic diseases

• To ensure rapid growth

What is the significance of organizing DNA into chromosomes before cell division?

• It increases the amount of DNA

• It helps in the movement of DNA to new cells

• It decreases the size of the cell

• It changes the function of the DNA

What happens during prophase?

• Nucleus disappears and chromosomes become visible

• Chromosomes line up in the middle

• Cell officially divides into two

• Chromosomes move to opposite poles

What is the role of spindles during mitosis?

• To duplicate DNA

• To move chromosomes to the cell poles

• To create energy for cell division

• To condense DNA into chromosomes

What marks the end of mitosis and the beginning of cytokinesis?

• The formation of two nuclei

• The duplication of DNA

• The cell growing in size

• The chromosomes lining up in the middle

What is the correct order of the stages in mitosis?

• Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

• Telophase, Anaphase, Metaphase, Prophase

• Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Prophase

• Anaphase, Metaphase, Prophase, Telophase
