Cell Division TEST Practice - Principles

Which of the following is a phase of MITOSIS (PMAT)?

• S phase

• Interphase

• Cytokinesis

• Metaphase

What is the starting phase of mitosis?

• Telophase

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

What is the defining characteristic for PROPHASE in mitosis?

• Chromosomes line up in middle of cell

• Two new nuclei form and nuclear membrane reforms

• Sister chromatids separate by spindle fibers

• Chromosomes form

What is the defining characteristic for METAPHASE in mitosis?

• Chromosomes form from chromatin

• Sister chromatids separate by spindle fibers

• Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell

• Two daughter cells are formed

What is the defining characteristic of ANAPHASE in mitosis?

• Sister chromatids are separated by spindle fibers

• Chromosomes form from chromatin

• Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell

• Nuclear membrane reforms around genetic material

What is the defining characteristic of TELOPHASE in mitosis?

• Nuclear membrane reforms around genetic information

• Sister chromatids are separated by spindle fibers

• Chromatin condenses into chromosomes

• Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell

What is FALSE about INTERPHASE in mitosis?

• Cell spends most of their time in this phase

• This is the shortest part of the cell cycle

• DNA is duplicated

• The cell spends time growing and doing normal activities

In meiosis, chromosomes come from the egg and the sperm. These are called.....

• Chromatin

• Centrioles

• Homologous pair

• Sister chromatids

Which statement applies to mitosis?

• Two rounds of cell division

• Results in half the number of chromosomes

• Produces sex cells

• Occurs in all body cells

Which statement applies to mitosis?

• Produces haploid cells

• Produces 4 cells

• Produces diploid cells

• For the purpose of sexual reproduction
