WorksheetsMitosis & Meiosis dividing to multiply
Total questions: 16
Worksheet time: 10mins
Reorder the followingPut the following in order starting with the description of interphase and ending with telophase
chromosomes are not organized and DNA replication takes place
chromosomes condense and the nuclear membrane disappears
homologous chromosomes lineup in the middle of the cell
sister chromatids pull apart toward opposite poles
two nuclei begin to form and cytokinesis starts
Match the word with its description
makes 2 identical diploid daughter cells
mitosis
makes 4 different haploid gametes
meiosis
2N or 2 chromosomes for every pair
diploid
1N or 1 chromosome of every pair
haploid
division of the cytoplasm
cytokinesis
Which phase of Mitosis is shown in the picture?
Anaphase
Metaphase
Prophase
Telophase
Pick the correct description for the picture
Teleophase: Chromosomes unwind and start to form TWO new cells.
Anaphase: Chromosomes pull APART to ends of the cell.
Metaphase: Chromosomes line up in the MIDDLE
Prophase: The cell PREPARES for cell division as chromosomes coil up.

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
Meiosis
Is a faster version of mitosis
has more steps than mitosis.
is just backwards compared to mitosis
is a shorter version of mitosis
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
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
What process is shown in the diagram?
Synapsis of homologous chromosomes
Centrosome movement to poles
DNA replication
Crossing over
