The Cell Cycle

What is the sequence of events from the time a cell first arises as a result of cell division until the time when that cell itself divides called?

• The sequence of events is called the cell cycle.

• The sequence of events is called mitosis.

• The sequence of events is called cytokinesis.

• The sequence of events is called interphase.

Which of the following is a period in the cell cycle?

• Growth and Development

• Photosynthesis

• Respiration

• Excretion

The cell cycle consists of Interphase and _______.

• Mitosis

• Meiosis

• Cytokinesis

• Apoptosis

Interphase in the cell cycle is:

• a phase where the cell divides

• a phase where the cell prepares for division

• a phase where the cell rests

• a phase where the cell dies

During the G2 phase, organelles _______.

• During the G2 phase, organelles replicate and prepare for cell division.

• During the G2 phase, organelles shrink and lose function.

• During the G2 phase, organelles stop functioning.

• During the G2 phase, organelles are destroyed.

List the three phases of interphase.

• G1, S, G2

• Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase

• Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis

• G0, G1, G2

What is the constricted point where the two chromatids are held together called?

• Centromere

• Telomere

• Chromatin

• Nucleosome

Which stage of mitosis is represented by the diagram labeled '2'?

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

Which stage of mitosis is represented by the diagram labeled '3'?

• A) Prophase

• B) Metaphase

• C) Anaphase

• D) Telophase

What happens during the four stages of Mitosis?

• Different processes occur in each stage.

• The stages are identical and nothing changes.

• Only two stages are significant.

• The stages are irrelevant to the process.
