- Q1When DNA is condensed, it is condenses intoNucleicentromeresChromosomesSpindle Fibers120s
- Q2Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cellsIn order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.120s

- Q4Structure B refers to the _____.ChromosomeSpindle fibersChromatids120s
- Q5Structure C refers to the _____.ChromsomeSpindle FibersChromatidCentromere120s
- Q6Fruit fly body cells have 8 chromosomes. After mitosis, you would expect a resulting fruit fly daughter cell to have -8 chromosomes32 chromosomes4 chromosomes16 chromosomes120s
- Q7These structures pull the spindle fibers and attached chromosomes to opposite ends of the cell.CentromereNucleusNucleoidCentrioles120s
- Q8The stages of mitosis in orderProphase, Anaphase, Telophase,MetaphaseProphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, TelophaseProphase, Telophase,Metaphase, AnaphaseAnaphase, Telophase,Metaphase, Prophase120s
- Q9In mitosis, the two resulting cells aredifferent from the starting cell and different to each other.identical to the starting cell and identical to each other.different from the starting cell and identical to each other.identical to the starting cell and different from each other.120s
- Q10Mitosis is useful for the creation of new cells which is important for all of the following EXCEPTreplacement of worn out cells.repair of damage.organism growthgeneration of gametes120s
- Q11Have you ever heard of a skin graft? Skin cells can be harvested from one area and be grown in order to help burn victims or other skin injuries. Which process would result in the development of more skin cells in this treatment?MitosisMeiosisCrossing OverInterphase120s
- Q12Why don't cells just stretch when you grow, instead of making copies of themselves?The cell won't be able to bring in food fast enough or get waste out fast enough.The muscles in the cells can't stretch that far.The lysosomes don't want to work so hard.The cell membrane doesn't like the feeling of stretching.120s
- Q13What is the job of internal or external regulators?To determine when a cell needs to divide or to stop dividingTo decide if a cell is hungryTo help a cell to digest their foodTo let a cell know when they need to get out of the cold120s
- Q14How does cytokinesis differ in plant and animal cells?Cytokinesis only takes place in plant cells.Plant cells form a cell plate, animal cells form a cleavage furrow.Cytokinesis only takes place in animal cells.Animal cells form a cell plate, plant cells form a cleavage furrow.120s
- Q15A cell contains 12 chromosomes. After mitosis, how many chromosomes would each daughter cell have?612243120s
