Exploring Mitosis and Meiosis: Key Concepts in Cell Division

What type of cells undergo mitosis?

• Bacterial cells

• Sex cells

• Somatic cells

• None of the above

How many chromosomes does a diploid human cell have?

• 23 chromosomes

• 46 chromosomes

• 92 chromosomes

• 37.2 trillion chromosomes

How many cells result from the division of one diploid cell during mitosis?

• One

• Two

• Four

• Eight

What is the result of meiosis in terms of cell type?

• Haploid cells

• None of the above

• Both diploid and haploid

• Diploid cells

What is the primary function of meiosis?

• Production of sex cells

• DNA replication

• Cell growth

• Detoxification

What is the outcome of fertilization in the human life cycle?

• All of the above

• Initiation of puberty

• Production of gametes

• Formation of a zygote

During which phase of mitosis do chromosomes line up at the cell's equator?

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

What happens during the telophase of mitosis?

• DNA replicates

• Two new nuclei form

• Chromosomes disappear

• Chromosomes are pulled apart

What is the significance of interphase in the cell cycle?

• Cell division

• Cell death

• Protein synthesis

• DNA replication and preparation for division

Which cells do not divide and stay in interphase?

• Stem cells

• Neurons

• Liver cells

• Skin cells
