Starr Biology Review

In which phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?

• Mitosis

• G1 phase

• G2 phase

• S phase

What phase is this cell in?

• Cytokinesis

• Mitosis

• Prophase

• Metaphase

What phase is this cell in?

• Mitosis

• Interphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

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.

Two organisms that are closely related would have

• very similar DNA sequence

• exactly the same DNA sequences

• no proteins in common

• completely different DNA sequence

Adaptations that result from natural selection are expected to increase the fitness of an organism. In terms of natural selection, what is fitness?

• being able to escape from predators

• being among the strongest organisms in a population

• being able to survive, find a mate, and produce offspring

• being able to survive long enough to reach an adult age
