Cell Division Quiz

What must cells do before division to ensure proper genetic information is passed on?

• Duplicate organelles

• Increase cell size

• Copy genetic information

• Consume nutrients

How do prokaryotes divide?

• In multiple stages

• By separating the cell into two parts

• By mitosis and cytokinesis

• By duplicating the nucleus

What are the two stages of cell division in eukaryotes?

• Binary fission and mitosis

• Mitosis and meiosis

• Mitosis and cytokinesis

• Cytokinesis and binary fission

What does mitosis refer to in eukaryotic cell division?

• Division of cytoplasm

• Division of cell nucleus

• Separation of the cell into two parts

• Copying of genetic information

What does cytokinesis refer to in eukaryotic cell division?

• Division of cell nucleus

• Division of cytoplasm

• Copying of genetic information

• Separation of the cell into two parts

Are the cells produced by mitosis genetically identical to the parent cell?

• Yes, they are genetically identical.

• No, they are genetically different.

• Yes, but only in animals.

• No, but only in plants.

What is another role of mitosis besides reproduction in unicellular organisms?

• It is the source for new cells in multicellular organisms.

• It helps in the digestion of food.

• It is used for the transportation of oxygen.

• It is a method for excreting waste.

What are the two main stages of the cell cycle?

• Cytokinesis and Interphase

• Interphase and Mitosis

• Prophase and Metaphase

• Anaphase and Telophase

What is Interphase?

• The final stage of cell division

• Time in between cell divisions

• A type of protein synthesis

• The process of cell differentiation

During Interphase, what does the cell do?

• The cell divides into two daughter cells

• The cell rests and does not perform any function

• The cell grows and replicates its DNA

• The cell's DNA is condensed into chromosomes
