What type of cell division ensures that each new cell has the same genetic information?

• Mitosis

• Binary fission

• Budding

• Meiosis

When do cells divide?

• When an organism is at rest

• When an organism grows

• When an organism needs to excrete waste

• When an organism needs energy

What is the series of stages that a cell goes through as it is growing and dividing called?

• Cell division

• Cell synthesis

• Cell phase

• Cell cycle

What happens during the first stages of the cell cycle?

• Cell division

• Cell differentiation

• Cell death

• Cell growth

What is synthesized during the cell cycle?

• DNA

• Lipids

• RNA

• Proteins

What is the result of mitosis?

• Four daughter cells

• Two daughter cells

• One daughter cell

• Three daughter cells

What are the new cells produced by cell division called?

• Clone cells

• Parent cells

• Sister cells

• Daughter cells

What is the formula to estimate the length of different stages of the cell cycle?

• Length of time in phase = (observed number of cells at that stage / total number of cells observed) x total length of time of cell cycle

• Length of time in phase = (total length of time of cell cycle / observed number of cells at that stage) x total number of cells observed

• Length of time in phase = (total number of cells observed / observed number of cells at that stage) x total length of time of cell cycle

• Length of time in phase = (observed number of cells at that stage + total number of cells observed) / total length of time of cell cycle

What is the material inside the nucleus of cells that carries genetic information?

• DNA

• Lipids

• RNA

• Protein
