Cell Division Quiz

What are the stages of mitosis?

• interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase

• prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

• prophase, metaphase, telophase, anaphase

• telophase, anaphase, metaphase, prophase

What is the process of cell division called?

• mitosis

• apoptosis

• cytokinesis

• meiosis

What is the main difference between mitosis and binary fission?

Why is mitosis important for multicellular organisms?

• Mitosis is important for multicellular organisms because it allows for growth, repair, and replacement of cells.

• Mitosis is only important for cell division.

• Mitosis only occurs in unicellular organisms.

• Mitosis is not important for multicellular organisms.

What regulates the cell division process?

• DNA replication

• Cellular respiration

• Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs)

• Protein synthesis

Which stage of mitosis involves the separation of sister chromatids?

• metaphase

• anaphase

• prophase

• telophase

What is the purpose of cytokinesis in cell division?

• Cytokinesis is the process of forming the spindle fibers that separate the chromosomes during cell division.

• Cytokinesis is responsible for replicating the DNA in the cell before it divides.

• Cytokinesis is a process that occurs after cell division and is responsible for repairing any damage to the cell.

• The purpose of cytokinesis in cell division is to divide the cytoplasm and ensure each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material and organelles.

How does binary fission differ from mitosis in terms of genetic material?

• Binary fission involves the division of genetic material without the division of the cytoplasm and other cellular components, while mitosis involves the division of genetic material along with the cytoplasm and other cellular components.

• Mitosis involves the division of genetic material without the division of cytoplasm.

• Binary fission involves the division of genetic material without the division of the cytoplasm.

• Binary fission involves the division of cytoplasm without the division of genetic material.

What happens during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

• The cell enters a state of rest and does not carry out any functions.

• The cell undergoes DNA replication.

• The cell divides into two daughter cells.

• The cell grows in size, synthesizes proteins, and carries out its normal functions.

What are the consequences of uncontrolled cell division?

• Tumors or cancer

• Weight gain

• Inflammation

• Hair loss
