WorksheetsMitosis and the Cell cycle
Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 13mins
Which of the following is a phase of mitosis?
Anaphase
S Phase
G1 Phase
Interphase
A tomato plant cell has 24 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will each daughter cell have after the cell undergoes a mitotic division?
6 chromosomes each
12 chromosomes each
24 chromosomes each
48 chromosomes each
Gametes must be haploid because —
the gametes’ chromosomes will be replicated prior to cell division
two gametes will unite during fertilization to create a diploid cell
fertilization results with a haploid zygote
gametes are small and can hold only the haploid number of chromosomes
What occurs in meiosis but NOT in mitosis?
chromosome replication
the joining of homologous chromosomes
production of daughter cells
alignment of chromosomes along the metaphasal plate (middle)
The process of mitosis ensures that each daughter cell has a copy of every chromosome present in the parent cell. What is the use of this process? Select each correct statement.
It helps in multiplication of DNA.
It helps replace old, worn out cells.
It ensures that the functioning of the new daughter cells is the same as the parent.
It creates reproductive cells.
If an organism has 24 chromosomes in a body cell, how many will each daughter cell have at the end of meiosis?
6
12
23
24
