A cell containing 20 chromosomes goes through MITOSIS. What is the end result?
2 daughter cells each containing 40 chromosomes
2 daughter cells each containing 20 chromosomes
2 daughter cells each containing 10 chromosomes
4 daughter cells each containing 20 chromosomes
2. A cell containing 20 chromosomes undergoes MEIOSIS. What is the end result?
2 daughter cells each containing 20 chromosomes
2 daughter cells each containing 40 chromosomes
4 daughter cells each containing 10 chromosomes
4 daughter cells each containing 20 chromosomes
A macrophage engulfing bacteria
A gamete reproducing sexually
A gamete being produced in the ovary
An somatic cell replicating itself
Meiosis
Is a faster version of mitosis
has more steps than mitosis.
is just backwards compared to mitosis
is a shorter version of mitosis
5. The number of chromosomes in most human cells is:
23
46
108
92
The cell cycle:
Is the same length of time for all cells.
Is when a cell dies.
Only occurs in bacteria cells
Is different lengths of time for different types of cells.
Which process normally occurs during meiosis but NOT during mitosis?
Chromosomes replicate
Centrosome movement to the poles
Pairing (synapsis) of homologous chromosomes
Spindle formation
Which phase of the cell cycle is the longest?
Telophase – when the cytoplasm begins to separate.
Metaphase – when the chromatids line up in the center of the cell.
Anaphase – when sister chromatids separate
Interphase – when the chromosomes duplicate
Asexual Reproduction is:
A process that produces genetic variety
When a new organism is produced from one organism.
When a new organism is produced from two organisms
When the chromosomes are copied
Cell division is important because:
Cells will die if they become too large
Dead or injured cells need to be replaced
You need more cells to grow
All of the above
Which statement is true of BOTH mitosis and meiosis?
Both are involved in asexual reproduction
Both occur only in reproductive cells
The number of chromosomes is reduced by half
DNA replication occurs before the division of the nucleus.
Cells which have pairs of homologous chromosomes are called _____________.
Haploid
Diploid
Polyploid
Gametes
Cells which have only one kind of each chromosome are called _________________.
Haploid
Diploid
Polyploid
Somatic cells
What process is shown in the diagram?
Synapsis of homologous chromosomes
Centrosome movement to poles
DNA replication
Crossing over

Genetic disorders like cancer.
Why gravity exists
Climate change
Mitosis is an example of
Sexual reproduction

DNA replication
Independent assortment
Meiosis is essential for
Sexual reproduction
Asexual reproduction
Cell growth
ATP production
