End of chapter 5 - mitotic cell cycle questions

Q1. During prophase of mitosis, chromosomes consist of two chromatids. At which stage of the cell cycle is the second chromatid made?

• cytokinesis

• G1

• G2

• S

Q2. Put the following stages of mitosis in order: anaphase, prophase, metaphase, and telophase.

• prophase, metaphase, telophase, anaphase

• prophase, anaphase, metaphase, telophase

• prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

• prophase, telophase, metaphase, anaphase

Q3. During which stage of interphase do cells perform their normal cell functions (such as growing and making enzymes to digest your food)?

• S stage

• G2 stage

• G1 stage

• Mitosis

Q4. Which of the following occurs during S phase?

• condensation of the chromosomes.

• replication of the DNA

• separation of sister chromatids

• spindle formation
