• binary fission

• budding

• production of spores

Sister chromatids are

• found only when a cell is not actively dividing

• tightly linked together at the centromere

• formed when chromatids separated during cell division

• made only of DNA

When a eukaryotic cell is not dividing, its genetic material can be found in the form of very long thin fibers called

• chromatin

• chromosomes

• the nucleolus

• RNA

During prophase of mitosis, each chromosome of a eukaryotic cell consists of a pair of identical structures called

• chromatid

• sister chromosomes

• DNA transcript

• sister chromatids

If the S-phase was eliminated from the cell cycle, the daughter cell would

• have half the genetic material found in the parental cell

• be genetically identical

• be genetically identical to the parent cell

• synthesize the missing genetic material on their own
