3.

During this phase of mitosis, sister chromatids are being pulled apart or separated.

a)

Anaphase

b)

Metaphase

c)

Prophase

d)

Cytokinesis

4.

Two chromosomes, one from the egg and the other from the sperm, that carry the same set of genes but may have different alleles are called __________.

a)

Analogous chromosomes

b)

Sister chromatids

c)

Homologous chromosomes

a)

2

b)

4

c)

8

d)

16

6.

a)

S Phase

b)

G1 phase

c)

G2 phase

d)

M phase

7.

During this phase (after prophase), chromosomes align along the center of the cell (at the _______ plate).

a)

Anaphase

b)

Metaphase

c)

Telophase

d)

Interphase

8.

During this phase of mitosis, the nuclear membrane dissolves and the chromosomes condense.

a)

Prophase

b)

Metaphase

c)

Anaphase

d)

Telophase

9.

The nuclear membrane re-forms during this phase.

a)

Prophase

10.

What purposes does mitosis serve?

There are multiple answers - choose all correct answers!

a)

During development and growth, mitosis populates an organism’s body with cells.

b)

Reproduction for single-celled eukaryotes like yeast. Mitosis adds new individuals to the population.

c)

Mitosis makes 2 identical daughter cells from a single parent cell. This is how somatic (body) cells duplicate.

d)

Throughout an organism’s life, mitosis replaces old, worn-out cells with new ones.
