24

9.

Where does DNA replication occur?

What occurs at G1?

a)

chromatin condenses to form chromosomes

cleavage of cytoplasm and formation of cell plate

11.

The cell cycle has checkpoints built in to ensure that each cell has met certain criteria before being allowed to move to the next stage. What happens prior to the cell being allowed to enter the G2 stage of the cell cycle?

a)

the cell makes RNA

b)

the nucleus divides

c)

DNA replication occurs

d)

the chromosomes align

12.

What part of the cell clycle results in daughter cells?

a)

mitosis

b)

prophase

c)

cytokinesis

d)

G2 checkpoint

13.

During prophase, chromosomes become visible, the spindle forms and the nucleolus and nuclear envelope disappear. In which cellular process does prophase occur?

a)

mitosis

b)

DNA replication

c)

interphase

d)

growth phase

14.

What kind of cells most likely result from uncontrolled growth due to mutations in genes that control the cell cycle?

a)

nerve cells

b)

bone cells

c)

cancer cells

d)

cardiac cells

15.

During the cell cycle, normal cells exit the G1 phase and enter the G0 phase where they rest. Typically, cells will reenter the cycle at G1 prior to going on to S phase. However abnormal cells such as cancer cells may not be allowed to enter the G0 phase to rest. As a result, these cells will most likely -

a)

mutate during G2 phase

b)

continuously repeat the cycle

c)

die after DNA replication

d)

fail to complete mitosis

16.

Which of the following processes is mort likely affected by cancer drugs

a)

cellular respiration

b)

transport of molecules

c)

cell differentiation

d)

cellular division

17.

As cancerous cells multiply uncontrollably, abnormal tissue masses form. These masses of tissue are called -

a)

tumors

b)

cell bags

c)

alveoli

d)

metastasize

18.

a)

vacuoles and cell membranes

b)

chloroplasts and mitrochondria

c)

chloroplasts and cells walls

d)

cell walls and cell membranes

19.

Which phase of mitosis is occurring in the cell indicated by the arrow?

a)

prophase

b)

metaphase

c)

anaphase

d)

telophase

20.

Cells pass through a G2 checkpoint before entering mitosis. Ideally, if DNA damage is detected, the cells do not enter mitosis until the damage is repaired. Why is DNA damage repaired before cells enter mitosis?

a)

so that another round of DNA synthesis does not have to take place

b)

So that the chromosomes can align a the metaphase plate during mitosis

c)

So that the cytoplasm can be divided equally between the two daughter cells

d)

so that healthy daughter cells are produced, allowing the organism to continue growing

21.
