Cell Cycle Review Game

In the diagram below, the structures labeled "B" are best described as:

• centrioles
• homologous chromosomes
• sister chromatids
• spindle fibers

If a parent cell with 46 chromosomes undergoes the process of mitosis, both daughters cells will inherit ____ _________________.

• 46 chromosomes
• 23 chromosomes
• 92 chromosomes
• 12 chromosomes

Which phase of mitosis would you expect to observe the two sister chromatids of each chromosome separate and move toward opposite poles of the cell?

• Prophase
• Anaphase
• Metaphase
• Telophase

Which of the following accurately represents the order of phases in mitosis?

• Prophase → Anaphase → Metaphase → Telophase
• Anaphase → Prophase → Metaphase → Telophase
• Metaphase → Telophase → Anaphase → Prophase
• Prophase→ Metaphase→ Anaphase → Telophase

At the end of mitosis, the cytoplasm will divide into two daughter cells. What is this phase of the cell cycle called?

• Prophase
• Telophase
• Mitosis
• Cytokinesis

Which of the following statements best describes the result of uncontrolled cell growth in the body?

• It often results in improved cell function.
• It typically leads to the formation of a tumor, leading to cancer.
• It enhances the body's ability to fight infections.
• It usually increases the efficiency of cellular metabolism.

What stage is represented with this image?

• Interphase

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

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.

Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?

• In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.
• In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.
• In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.
• In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells.

Apoptosis is

• programmed cell death

• mysterious cell death

• programmed cellular mutation

• mysterious cellular mutation
