During the cell cycle, DNA is replicated. This step takes place

a)

after mitosis

b)

during interphase

c)

during mitosis

Binary fission, budding and fragmentation are all examples of (select all that apply)

a)

asexual reproduction

b)

sexual reproduction

c)

mitotic process

d)

19.

The cell cycle includes the following stages: G1, S, G2, mitosis and cytokinesis. When is DNA replicated?

a)

G1

b)

S

c)

Miosis

d)

Cytokinesis

20.

Meiosis produces what kind of cells?

a)

Skin cells

b)

Stigmates

c)

Gametes

d)

Homologous osteocytes

21.

UV Rays can cause mutations in the DNA of skin cells. Will this mutation have effect on future generations?

a)

Yes, because skin cells play a role in reproduction

b)

Yes, because DNA is passed from parent to offspring

c)

No, because the changes have no effect on the gametes of the parents

d)

No, because offspring are immune to changes in parental DNA

22.

Will multiple insertion mutations affect genetic variability? Why or why not?

a)

No, because inserted nucleotides are not translated along the original DNA sequence

b)

Yes, because lengthening the DNA sequence will keep genetic information stable during meiosis

c)

Yes, because changing the DNA sequence will alter the amino acid sequence that codes for traits

d)

No, because adding more nucleotides in a DNA sequence does not alter the coding of proteins

23.

Which of the following shows the correct sequence of the cell cycle?

a)

G1 → S → G2 → mitosis

b)

mitosis → G1 → G2 → S

c)

G1 → G2 → S → mitosis

d)

S → G1 → G2 → mitosis

24.

Which of the following describes how both of these processes maintain genetic continuity?

a)

Both processes create cells with twice the genetic material of the parent cell

b)

Both processes involve the

replication and division of

identical genetic material.

c)

Both processes creates cells with 1/2 the genetic material.
