1.

Which of the following is NOT a checkpoint that controls the progression of the cell cycle?

a)

The G1/S checkpoint determines if conditions are favorable for cell division.

b)

The S/G2 checkpoint checks for DNA damage and determines if all the DNA is replicated.

c)

The metaphase/anaphase checkpoint determines if all chromosomes are attached to the spindle apparatus.

d)

The telophase/cytokinesis checkpoint checks the formation of a cleavage furrow to separate the cells.

2.

Which of the following statements is FALSE concerning sister chromatids?

a)

The formation of sister chromatids doubles the amount of DNA in a cell.

b)

Sister chromatids separate during telophase.

c)

Sister chromatids are held together at the centromere by cohesion proteins.

d)

Sister chromatids are formed during the S phase of the cell cycle.

3.

What does NOT happen in the cytokinesis of plant cells?

a)

Formation of cleavage furrow to separate the cells.

b)

Cell wall forms between the two daughter cells.

c)

The two nuclei are segregated into separate daughter cells.

d)

When the vesicles fuse, their membranes contribute to the formation of plasma membrane on either side of the cell plate.
