1.

What is mitosis?

a)

Mitosis is the process in which two eukaryotic cells divide into two cells

b)

Mitosis is the process in which one eukaryotic cell divides into two cells different from the parent cell

c)

Mitosis is the process in which one eukaryotic cell divides into two cells identical to the parent cell

2.

Why is mitosis a synonym of reproduction in some cases?

a)

Mitosis destroys cells

b)

In the asexual reproduction of eukaryotes, mitosis is the mechanism by which the cells that make up the new organisms are produced.

c)

In asexual reproduction cells lose their nucleus

3.

What is the importance of mitosis in embryonic development?

a)

Every embryo grows from a single cell that undergoes mitosis and generates other cells that also multiply via mitosis, forming tissues and oxygen

b)

Every embryo grows from a multi cell organism

c)

Every embryo grows from a single cell that undergoes mitosis and generates other cells that also divide via mitosis, forming tissues and complete organs

4.

What is the role of mitosis in the growth of pluricellular organisms?

a)

All pluricellular organisms grow as their number of cells increases. This increase is produced by mitosis

b)

All pluricellular organisms shrink as their number of cells increases. This increase is produced by mitosis

c)

To kill all cells

5.

What is the name for the disease caused by uncontrolled mitosis in pluricellular organisms?

a)

Cancer

b)

Parkinson's

c)

Asthma

6.

What is cellular regeneration?

a)

Tissues are not able to be regenerated.

b)

In tissue regeneration, cellular proliferation occurs via mitosis. Some tissues are able to regenerate when injured.

c)

Cells getting energy via sunlight

7.

What is the cell cycle?

a)

The cell cycle is the time period that begins when the cell is created and ends when it is divided by mitosis, creating two daughter cells

b)

The cell cycle is the time period that begins when the cell is created and ends when it is divided by mitosis, creating four daughter cells

c)

The cell cycle is the time period that begins when the cell is created and ends when it is divided by mitosis, creating one daughter cell

8.

Cell division happens during the entire cell cycle?

a)

True

b)

False

9.

What is interphase?

a)

Interphase is when too many cells are created

b)

Splitting the cell membrane to create two daughter cells

c)

During interphase, processes that prepare for cell division take place, such as the duplication of DNA and centrioles

10.

What are the three stages of interphase?

a)

G1, G2, and G3

b)

G1, Synthesis, and G2

c)

G1 G2, and Prophase

11.

Which phase of the cell cycle takes more time?

a)

prophase

b)

metaphase

c)

telophase

d)

interphase

12.

What events mark the beginning and the end of the first stage of interphase?

a)

It begins with the end of the preceding cell division. It ends with the beginning of DNA replication

b)

It begins with the beginning of DNA replication. It ends with the end of the preceding cell division.

c)

It begins with prophase. It ends with the end of the preceding cell division.

13.

What events mark the beginning and the end of the second stage of interphase?

a)

it starts with the beginning of DNA replication and finishes with the end of that process

b)

it starts with the beginning of DNA destruction and finishes with the end of that process

c)

it starts with the beginning of metaphase and finishes with the end of that process

14.

What events mark the beginning and the end of the third stage of interphase?

a)

It begins with the end of DNA replication and ends with the beginning of the last period of the mitotic phase

b)

It begins with the end of DNA replication and ends with the beginning of the first period of the mitotic phase.

c)

It begins with the end of the membrane splitting and ends with the beginning of the first period of the mitotic phase

15.

Does mitosis occur before or after interphase?

a)

before

b)

after

c)

never

16.

What are the stages that make up mitosis?

a)

Mitosis is divided into four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

b)

Mitosis is divided into three stages: prophase, anaphase and telophase.

c)

Mitosis is divided into four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and interphase.

17.

What are centrioles?

a)

Centrioles are phases of mitosis

b)

Centrioles are structures that house DNA

c)

Centrioles are tiny cylindrical structures made of nine microtubule triplets.

18.

In which types of cells are centrioles found?

a)

plants

b)

animals

c)

none

19.

What are the main events of the first stage of mitosis?

a)

It starts with the beginning of DNA replication and finishes with the end of that process.

b)

the splitting of the cell wall, creation of new cells

c)

the migration of each centriole pair to opposite poles, the formation of spindle fibers between the two centriole pairs

20.

What is the mitotic apparatus?

a)

The mitotic apparatus is a set of aster fibers and spindle fibers

b)

Interphase is the phase preceding mitotic division.

c)

Cell division normally occurs during the mitotic phase of the cell cycle.
