Mitosis Review

Match each description to the correct phase of the cell cycle.

• Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.

• Interphase

• Chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down.

• Anaphase

• Chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell.

• Prophase

• The cell grows and DNA is replicated.

• Telophase

• Nuclear membranes reform around the two sets of chromosomes.

• Metaphase

During which phase of mitosis do centromeres divide and the chromosomes move toward their respective poles?

• Prophase
• Metaphase
• Telophase
• Anaphase

What is the phase where chromatin condenses to form chromosomes?

• Anaphase
• Prophase
• Telophase
• Metaphase

What is the name of the structure that connects the two chromatids?

• Nucleus
• Chromatin
• Centromere
• Spindle fiber

What structure forms in prophase along which the chromosomes move?

• Chromatin fibers
• Centrioles
• Mitotic spindle
• Nuclear envelope

How is plant cell mitosis different from animal cell mitosis?

• Animal cell mitosis requires ATP energy but plant cell mitosis does not.

• Plant cells use centrioles during anaphase and animal cells do not.

• Plant cells divide by binary fission while animal cells divide by somatic cell division.

• Plant cells form a cell plate during cytokinesis, while animal cells form a cleavage furrow.

What is the longest phase of the cell cycle?

• Interphase
• Prophase
• Metaphase
• Telophase

What might happen if an individual cell had faulty spindle fibers?

• The cell has a higher chance of cancerous growth.

• The cell would be unable to absorb nutrients properly.

• The chromosomes would not be able to divide evenly.

• Metaphase would not be able to take place.
