Cell Cycle

The cell cycle includes mitosis. What happens during mitosis?

• Each chromosome makes a copy of itself

• The cell cytoplasm divides to produce two new cells

• The cell prepares to divide

• The nucleus divides, so that each cell will receive a complete set of genetic information

Sometimes a cell begins the cell cycle, but does not go one to complete the cycle (i.e. heart cells, nerve cells) In what phase of the cell cycle would that cell most likely exit the cycle?

• G1

• S

• G2

• M

In which phase does the cell NOT divide but instead prepares to produce new cells?

• Mitosis

• Interphase

• Undivide phase

• M phase

A student would like to examine the behavior of chromosomes as a cell divides to produce two new cells. Which part of the cell cycle should this student select to study?

• G1

• S

• G2

• M

Which of the following is NOT a purpose of cell division?

• To allow the organism to grow larger

• To replace dying cells

• To repair damaged tissue

• To increase their surface area-to-volume ratio (plasma membrane : cytoplasm)

• To increase the amount of DNA in each cell

Which of the following are problems the cell would face if it continued to grow larger rather than divide when it reached a certain point?

• The cell would become too large to function

• The demands of the cell's DNA would increase (DNA overload)

• The cell becomes less efficient at moving wastes out and nutrients into the cell.

• All of the above
