Somatic cells are the cells in our bodies that perform the cell cycle. They are the ________________ cells.

• normal body

• germ

• reproductive

• prokaryotic

This process involves several steps:
1. interphase
2. prophase
3. metaphase
4. anaphase
5. telophase
6. cytokinesis

• binary fission

• regeneration

• cell cycle

• mitosis

This step lines chromosomes up at the equator of the cell before being pulled apart.

• cytokinesis
• metaphase
• anaphase
• interphase

This step is when two cells are actually formed.

• prophase
• cytokinesis
• anaphase
• telophase

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

This step is when DNA is replicated.

• interphase

• telophase

• prophase

• cytokinesis

What is the purpose of the cell cycle?

• to make reproductive cells

• to grow new types of cells

• to replace cells, make an organism larger, and repair injuries

• to destroy cells

Which process involves DNA replication?

• binary fission
• both
• cell cycle
• none

Which is NOT a way that the cell cycle is regulated?

• built-in checkpoints

• DNA is checked for mistakes after replication

• DNA tells it when to start and stop

• cell is checked at the beginning to see if division should proceed, rest, or the cell should be destroyed
