Total questions: 30
Worksheet time: 16mins
Most of a cell's cycle is spent in which phase?
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Interphase
Which of the following is NOT a phase of interphase?
M Phase
G1
S
G2
During which phase does the cell duplicate its DNA?
M Phase
G1
S
G2
Why is the S phase important for cell division?
To ensure there is enough DNA for the daughter cells
To make sure sister chromatids separate properly
To ensure cytokinesis takes place
To ensure there are no mutations
During which phases is the cell growing as it prepares for division?
G1 and S
G1 and G2
G2 and S
M Phase
Which of these is NOT a phase of mitosis?
Interphase
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
During this phase, DNA condenses into chromosomes and the nuclear envelope begins to disappear. What is this phase?
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Which phase of mitosis is this?
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Which phase of mitosis is this?
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Which phase of mitosis is this?
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
This phase is when the cytoplasm fully separates, creating 2 separate cells. What is this phase?
Endocytosis
Exocytosis
Cytokinesis
Metaphase
Why do we need cell division?
Growth
Repair
Reproduction
What type of reproduction is mitosis?
Sexual reproduction
Asexual reproduction
What type of cells are produced by mitosis?
Body
Sex
Somatic
Gametes
How many times does a cell divide each time it goes through mitosis?
1
2
3
4
How many daughter cells are produced each time a cell goes through mitosis?
1
2
3
4
In terms of chromosome number, bodily cells created through mitosis are:
Haploid
Diploid
True or False? While mutations can occur in mitosis, these mutations are NOT passed on to offspring.
True
False
Cells that have 2 sets of chromosomes are called:
Haploid
Diploid
Binary
Gametes
Which of the following is NOT a form of asexual reproduction?
Mitosis
Budding
Binary Fission
Meiosis
Cells who do not proceed through the cell cycle properly and divide uncontrollably are indicative of:
Nondisjunction
Down Syndrome
Cancer
Parkinson's Disease
An accumulation of cancer cells creates a:
Mutation
Tumor
Bruise
Abscess
Cancer cells that can migrate to different areas of the body are called:
Malignant
Melanoma
Benign
Carcinoma
Cancer tumors that cannot migrate through the body and are more easily removed are called:
Malignant
Melanoma
Benign
Carcinoma
Cancer is a disease of:
Mitosis
Meiosis
What ultimately causes cancer cells to behave differently than healthy cells?
Mutations in their DNA
Sending improper signals to surrounding cells
Responding improperly to chemical signals
They fail to replicate their DNA in interphase.
In what ways do cancer cells behave differently than healthy cells?
They ignore the normal checkpoints that regulate the cell's cycle.
They divide too often, creating more cells with mutated DNA.
They do not go through apoptosis, or cell death, when they are supposed to.
They may not stay anchored in place and can move throughout the body.
They engulf other cells by a process called phagocytosis.
If a cell containing 14 chromosomes undergoes mitosis, how many chromosomes will the resulting daughter cells have?
7
14
28
What is the symbol or abbreviation for diploid?
1N
2N
3N
4N
If a sex cell contains 10 chromosomes, how many chromosomes are in the body cells?
5
10
15
20
