Cell Growth Lesson

How many cells would you have if a cell went through cell division one time?

• 0

• 1

• 2

• 4

What is the cell doing during Interphase?

• The cell is growing in size and replicating its contents.

• The cell's DNA is winding into chromosomes.

• The cell's chromosomes are lining up in the middle

• The cell's chromatids and splitting.

Do all cells replicate at the same rate?

• Yes, all cells go through the cell process to make daughter cells.

• Yes, all cells replicate to help an organism grow.

• No, they wait to help other cells replicate.

• No, they each have their own function so some replicate faster than others.

In which phase of the cell cycle does the cell spend most of its time?

• metaphase

• telophase

• interphase

• anaphase

List the 3 stages of cell division in order:

• cytokinesis, metaphase,

  interphase

• mitosis, anaphase, cytokinesis

• interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis

• Interphase, telophase, cytokinesis

Which phase of mitosis forms 2 nuclei and the membrane comes together?

• metaphase

• telophase

• anaphase

• interphase

Which phase of mitosis lines up the chromosomes in the middle?

• cytokinesis

• anaphase

• telophase

• metaphase

Which of the following best describes the role of spindle fibers during cell division?

• They help in the replication of DNA

• They attach to chromosomes and help separate them

• They form the cell plate in plant cells

• They dissolve the nuclear membrane

What is cytoplasm?

• Jel-like fluid that fills the cells and gives it shape

• Bone-like structure that give it protection

• Small structure that makes protein

• Whip-like structure that allows for movement

What is the primary purpose of cell growth in multicellular organisms?

• To increase the number of cells for growth and repair

• To decrease the size of the organism

• To eliminate old cells

• To produce energy
