1.

DISCRIMINATION: Why do cells need to divide?

a)

for growth

b)

for the repair of damaged tissues

c)

for reproduction

for the extinction of species

2.

DISCRIMINATION: Descriptions for somatic cells

a)

They are diploid in number.

b)

They are cells found in the body.

c)

They divide through meiosis.

d)

They divide through mitosis.

3.

CONCEPT RECALL: They are formed from DNA strands and carry genetic information.

a)

centrioles

b)

centrosome

c)

kinetochore

interphase

5.

SYNTHESIS: has two cell divisions; produces four daughter cells; happens in reproductive cells only

a)

cleavage furrow

a)

Go phase

b)

G1 phase

8.

ANALYSIS: Meiosis is a type of cell division.

a)

It produces two daughter cells.

b)

Both statements are correct.

d)

None of the statements is correct.

9.

ANALYSIS: Prophase is the stage next to interphase.

a)

The chromosomes start to shorten and thicken.

b)

The nuclear membrane begins to form.

c)

Both statements are correct.

a)

metaphase

b)

metaphase I

c)

metaphase II

d)

anaphase
