Cell Cycle and Mitosis Quiz

What is the primary role of mitosis in the cell cycle?

• To increase genetic diversity

• To produce energy for the cell

• To create two identical daughter cells

• To repair damaged DNA

During which stage of mitosis do chromosomes line up in the center of the cell?

• Anaphase

• Metaphase

• Telophase

• Prophase

What is the function of spindle fibers during mitosis?

• To replicate DNA

• To separate sister chromatids

• To condense chromatin

• To form the nuclear membrane

How does the chromosome number change during anaphase?

• It halves due to division

• It doubles due to separation

• It remains the same

• It doubles due to replication

What can result from disruptions in the cell cycle?

• Increased cell lifespan

• Uncontrollable cell division

• Improved cell function

• Enhanced DNA repair
