Independent Practice: Cell Cycle Review

Which stage of the cell cycle involves DNA replication?

• G1

• G2

• S

• Mitosis

Place the letter of the diagram next to the stage it represents.

• Anaphase

• 
• Prophase

• 
• Telophase

• 
• Metaphase

• 

DNA replication occurs during which of the following phases of the cell cycle?

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Interphase

Mitosis occurs in eukaryotic cells to insure that daughter cells are --

• genetically unique from each other

• more likely to adapt to the environment

• less likely to experience mutations

• genetically identical to parent cells

Mitosis is an important process for a multicellular organism’s --

• metabolism

• defense

• growth

• adaptation

If a cabbage plant has 18 chromosomes in each of its body cells, how many chromosomes will be in each daughter cell after mitosis?

• 6

• 9

• 18

• 36

Tumors are the result of disruptions to which of the following processes?

• Meiosis

• Chemosynthesis

• Mitosis

• Respiration

What normally occurs during the two gap stages (G1 and G2) of interphase?

• Cell division

• Cell growth

• Apoptosis

• DNA replication

What normally occurs during the synthesis (S) phase of interphase?

• Cell division

• Cell growth

• Apoptosis

• DNA replication

What is the correct order in which these stages occur from the beginning of mitosis to the end.

• A telophase, anaphase, metaphase, prophase

• B anaphase, prophase, metaphase, telophase

• C prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

• D metaphase, anaphase, prophase, telophase
