The Cell and Cell Division

Which is not part of the function of the normal cell?

• DNA repair mechanisms
• Uncontrolled division or mutation or cell death

• Cellular communication and signaling
• Controlled growth and division

What happens or occurs during interphase?

• The cell undergoes division and splits into two daughter cells.
• DNA is destroyed and the cell prepares for apoptosis.
• Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.
• The cell enters a dormant state and stops all activities.

What structure holds two sister chromatids together?

• Spindle fibers
• Nucleus
• Centromere
• Chromatin

What is cytokinesis?

• Cytokinesis is the synthesis of proteins during cell growth.
• Cytokinesis is the process of DNA replication.
• Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm during cell division.
• Cytokinesis is the merging of two cells into one.

Which basic process happens during mitosis?

• The basic process that happens during mitosis is the division of the nucleus.
• The basic process that happens during mitosis is the formation of ribosomes.
• The basic process that happens during mitosis is the synthesis of proteins.
• The basic process that happens during mitosis is the replication of DNA.
