Cellular Reproduction (Cell Division) - Practice Test 1

What type of organisms do binary fission?

• Prokaryotes
• Eukaryotes
• Animal Cells
• Plant Cells

What form is DNA is in during Interphase?

• Chromatin
• Replicated Chromosome
• Unreplicated Chromosome
• Chromatids

Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?

• In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.
• In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.
• In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.
• In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells.

The process by which the nuclear material is divided equally between two new cells

• mitosis

• cancer

• spindle

• centromere

In mitosis, the two resulting cells are

• different from the starting cell and identical to each other.
• different from the starting cell and different from each other.
• identical to the starting cell and different from each other.
• identical to the starting cell and identical to each other.

How many chromosomes do humans have?

• 46
• 21
• 10

The time between cell divisions in the life cycle of the cell is called

• anaphase
• interphase
• prophase
• metaphase

A chromosome is a single, long DNA molecule in a compact formation

• True
• False

The cells produced via meiosis are called:

• sex cells
• somatic cells
• body cells
• skin cells

Unlike mitosis, meiosis in male mammals results in the formation of

• one haploid gamete
• three diploid gametes
• four diploid gametes
• four haploid gametes
