Module 9 The Cell Cycle, Mitosis & Meiosis

Cells reproduce by a cycle of growing and dividing called the _________________.

• cell revolution

• cell cycle

• cell circle

• cell wheel

Cells spend most of their time in _____________ of the cell cycle.

• mitosis

• prophase

• interphase

• metaphase

Not all cells are destined to survive, some cells go through a process called ____________, which is programmed cell death.

• apoptosis

• cytotosis

• mitosis

• cytokinesis

The relaxed form of DNA is called _____________.

• centromere

• chromosomes

• cytokinesis

• chromatin

What stage of MITOSIS is shown in this graphic?

• prophase

• metaphase

• anaphase

• telophase

____________ is the uncontrolled growth and division of cells which is a failure in the regulation of the cell cycle.

• apoptosis

• division

• cancer

• cycling

Which stage of MEIOSIS is pictured in the graphic?

• anaphase II

• metaphase I

• telophase II

• anaphase I

The process during which homologous chromosomes exchange segments of DNA during Prophase I - leads to genetic variety.

• crossing over

• sharing over

• crossing links

• linking over

This cellular division process results in two identical body cells.

• meiosis

• mitosis

What stage of MITOSIS is shown in the graphic?

• prophase

• anaphase

• metaphase

• telophase
