Quiz 3 Practice Test

Place the stages of the cell cycle in the correct order.

• S

• M

• G₂

• G₁

Answer explanation

The order of the cell cycle is

G₁ → S → G₂ → M

The order of the cell cycle is: ​ (a)   →​ (b)   →​ (c)   →​ (d)  

• G1
• S
• G2
• M

Answer explanation

The order of the cell cycle is

G₁ → S → G₂ → M

During the cell cycle, DNA is replicated during

• G₁

• S

• G₂

• M

Answer explanation

G₁ = growth

S = DNA replication

G₂ = final preparations for division

M = cell division

During the cell cycle, most cell growth occurs during

• G₁

• S

• G₂

• M

Answer explanation

G₁ = growth

S = DNA replication

G₂ = final preparations for division

M = cell division

During the cell cycle, the cell divides during

• G₁

• S

• G₂

• M

Answer explanation

G₁ = growth

S = DNA replication

G₂ = final preparations for division

M = cell division

Place the stages of mitosis in the correct order:

• Telophase

• Anaphase

• Metaphase

Answer explanation

Order of mitosis = PMAT

Prophase

Metaphase

Anaphase

Telophase

The order of the phases of mitosis is: ​ ​ (a)   →​ (b)   →​ (c)   →​ (d)  

• prophase
• metaphase
• anaphase
• telophase

Answer explanation

Order of mitosis = PMAT

Prophase

Metaphase

Anaphase

Telophase

During this stage of mitosis, the chromosomes line up at the midplate of the cell

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

Answer explanation

metaphase = middle

During this stage of mitosis, the cell's nucleus is fully divided and two nuclear membranes begin to reform.

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

Answer explanation

telophase = two nuclei, nucleus is fully divided

During this stage of mitosis, the chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

Answer explanation

anaphase = chromosomes pulled apart
