Mitosis Quiz

Mitosis is a process by which

• gametes are formed

• cytokinesis occurs

• cells grow larger

• a cell's nucleus divides

The purpose of mitosis is to produce

• copies of cells that are different than the parent cell

• four haploid identical cells

• shared proteins and ribosomes

• copies of cells that are identical to the parent cell

The cell cycle is the

• series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide

• period of time between the birth and the death of a cell

• time from prophase until cytokinesis

• time is take for one cell to undergo mitosis

Cells generally divide when

• they are 15 days old

• their volume increase faster than their surface area

• the membrane becomes too weak to hold the cell together

• cellular respiration no longer happens
