1.

Loose DNA and protein structures found in the nucleus of a cell during Interphase.

a)

chromatin

b)

chromosome

c)

centromere

d)

replicated chromosome

2.

The center part of a chromosome, where spindle fibers attach.

a)

chromatin

b)

chromatid

c)

cenrioles

d)

centromere

3.

Condensed DNA and protein structures found in the nucleus of a cell during mitosis.

a)

chromatin

b)

chromosome

c)

centrioles

d)

centromere

4.

The process in which the cell makes an exact copy of the DNA in its nucleus.

a)

replication

b)

mitosis

c)

meiosis

d)

cell cycle

5.

Structures used to help the cell divide. They produce spindle fibers.

a)

nucleus

b)

centrioles

c)

centromeres

d)

chromosomes

6.

The final stage of the cell cycle during which the cytoplasm and cell membrane completely split, forming two new identical daughter cells.

a)

interphase

b)

mitosis

c)

telophase

d)

cytokinesis

7.

One half of a replicated chromosome. When they are attached together by a centromere, they are called "sisters."

a)

chromatin

b)

chromatid

c)

centrioles

d)

centromere

8.

The regular sequence of growth and division that cells undergo. During this, a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides into two new cells.

a)

replication

b)

mitosis

c)

meiosis

d)

cell cycle

9.

What stage of the cell cycle is this cell in?

a)

interphase

b)

anaphase

c)

cytokinesis

d)

metaphase

10.

What stage of the cell cycle is this cell in?

a)

prophase

b)

metaphase

c)

anaphase

d)

cytokinesis

11.

What stage of the cell cycle is this cell in?

a)

prophase

b)

metaphase

c)

anaphase

d)

telophase

12.

What stage of the cell cycle is this cell in?

a)

prophase

b)

anaphase

c)

telophase

d)

cytokinesis

13.

What stage of the cell cycle is this cell in?

a)

interphase

b)

metaphase

c)

anaphase

d)

telophase

14.

Which phase of the cell cycle did these two cells just complete?

a)

prophase

b)

metaphase

c)

anaphase

d)

cytokinesis

15.

The stage in mitosis where the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and the spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes.

a)

prophase

b)

metaphase

c)

anaphase

d)

interphase

16.

The final stage of the cell cycle during which the cytoplasm and cell membrane completely split, forming two new identical daughter cells.

a)

cytokinesis

b)

telophase

c)

anaphase

d)

interphase

17.

The stage in mitosis where the chromosomes condense, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and the centrioles migrate to opposite poles of the cell.

a)

prophase

b)

metaphase

c)

telophase

d)

anaphase

18.

The stage in mitosis where two new nuclei begin to form, the nuclear envelopes reform, and chromosomes begin to uncoil into chromatin.

a)

telophase

b)

anaphase

c)

prophase

d)

metaphase

19.

The first stage of the cell cycle. The period before cell division. The cell grows, makes a copy of its DNA, and prepares to divide into two new cells.

a)

interphase

b)

prophase

c)

anaphase

d)

cytokinesis

20.

The stage in mitosis where the centromere splits in each chromosome, sister chromatids separate, forming new chromosomes, and those chromosomes move away to opposite sides of the cell.

a)

prophase

b)

anaphase

c)

telophase

d)

metaphase
