Cell Cycle Quiz

What are the TWO reasons a cell would undergo mitosis?

• To repair damaged tissues and for growth

• To produce gametes for reproduction

• To increase genetic diversity

• To respond to environmental changes

What type of cells undergo mitosis?

• Nerve cells

• Germ cells

• Somatic cells

• Red blood cells

How many cells does the cell cycle produce and how do they compare?

• One cell, identical to the original

• Two cells, identical to each other and the original

• Four cells, different from each other and the original

• Two cells, different from each other but identical to the original

What are the THREE phases of the cell cycle?

• Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase

• G1, S, G2

• Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis

• Prophase, Anaphase, Telophase

What happens during interphase?

• The cell grows and DNA is replicated.

• The cell divides into two daughter cells.

• The chromosomes are distributed to the daughter nuclei.

• The nuclear membrane dissolves.

What happens during mitosis?

• The cell divides into two identical daughter cells

• The cell grows in size

• The cell exits the cell cycle

• The cell's DNA is replicated

What are the 4 phases of mitosis in order?

• Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

• metaphase, anaphase, telophase, prophase

• telophase, prophase, anaphase, metaphase

• anaphase, prophase, telophase, metaphase

What happens during cytokinesis?

• The cell's DNA is replicated

• The cell grows in size

• The cytoplasm of a cell is divided into two

• Proteins within the cell are synthesized

What is G0? What kind of cells are always in it?

• A phase of the cell cycle where cells are in a state of dormancy

• A type of cell that can regenerate

• A protein that helps in cell division

• A stage in photosynthesis

Why would a cell undergo meiosis?

• To repair damaged tissues

• To produce gametes for reproduction

• To grow and increase in size

• To replace old and worn-out cells
