WorksheetsCell Size and The Cell Cycle
Total questions: 10
Worksheet time: 5mins
As you grow from a toddler to a teenager, you increase in size. This is because:
Your cells stretch to become bigger.
The space between your cells expands.
Your cells replicate and increase in number.
The world around you shrinks.
At the end of the cell cycle, there are:
Two genetically identical daughter cells.
One bigger cell.
One big cell and one small cell.
Two genetically different daughter cells.
The correct order of phases in the cell cycle is:
Cytokinesis, mitosis, interphase
Interphase, cytokinesis, mitosis.
Interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis.
Mitosis, interphase, cytokinesis.
Why do cells replicate? (Choose all that apply)
Growth of an organism
Replace old cells
Repair damaged cells
To make a new organism
Why are cells so darn small?
So they can fit into tiny spaces.
Because diffusion is more efficient across small distances.
Because they're so cute when they're small!
Because diffusion is more efficient across big spaces.
What happens during the G1 phase of interphase?
The cell's DNA duplicates (copies).
The cell grows in size and duplicates its organelles.
The cell checks for DNA mutations and prepares for mitosis.
The cell clones separate.
What happens during the G2 phase of interphase?
The cell's DNA duplicates (copies).
The cell grows in size and duplicates its organelles.
The cell checks for DNA mutations and prepares for mitosis.
The cell clones separate.
What happens during the S phase of interphase?
The cell's DNA duplicates (copies).
The cell grows in size and duplicates its organelles.
The cell checks for DNA mutations and prepares for mitosis.
The cell clones separate.
What happens during cytokinesis?
The cell's DNA duplicates (copies).
The cell grows in size and duplicates its organelles.
The cell checks for DNA mutations and prepares for mitosis.
The cell clones separate.
An organism has 23 chromosomes in each of its somatic (body cells). At the end of mitosis, each daughter cells will have exactly:
46 chromosomes
11.5 chromosomes
23 chromosomes
2.3 chromosomes
