Mitosis Quiz Review

Question #8: What is the main purpose of the cell process of MITOSIS?

• to create and store energy for the cell
• to build amino acids into proteins in the cell
• to create two new identical cells from one original parent cell
• to fight off invaders like viruses and bacteria in the body

Question #12: How is the process of MITOSIS related to CANCER?

• cancerous cells use viruses go help them go through the process of mitosis
• cancerous cells often skip over interphase and metaphase when they go through mitosis
• cancerous cells often go through the process of mitosis more quickly and are uncontrolled
• cancerous cells and mitosis do not have any type of connection to each other
