Chapter 5 Part 1 Quiz

What are the four main stages of the cell cycle?

• Gap 1, Metaphase, Gap 2, and Mitosis

• Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase

• Gap 1, Synthesis, Gap 2, and Mitosis

• Gap 1, Gap 2, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis

What stages are in Interphase?

• Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase

• Gap 1, Gap 2, and Synthesis

• Gap 1, Synthesis, Cytokinesis

• Gap 2, Synthesis, Prophase

Checkmark the boxes that have the correct stage and overview of what happens in that stage.

• Gap 1 - Cell growth and normal functions

• Synthesis - Additional growth

• Gap 2 - Additional growth

• Synthesis - DNA replication

• Mitosis - The division of the cell's nucleus and cytoplasm

When can the cell go through the last stage?

• When it is in good condition, the cell is large enough, and DNA is undamaged

• Only when the cell is large enough

• Only when the DNA is undamaged

• None of the above

What stage does the cell spend most of its time on?

• Gap 1

• Gap 2

• Synthesis

• Mitosis

By the end of the Synthesis (S) stage, how many sets of DNA does the nucleus have?

• 1

• 2

Eukaryotic cells divide much faster than prokaryotic cells.

• True

• False

The rate of cell division varies with the type of cell.

• True

• False

Cell size is limited due to the cell won’t function properly without having the necessary organelles it needs if its too small and if it’s too big, then the cell would have to use too much energy to transport materials into and out of the cell with its big surface area.

• True

• False

When does chromosomes condense?

• At the end of Mitosis

• At the beginning of Mitosis

• They are never condensed.

• None of the above
