- Q1Part of the cell cycle is shown in this simplified model. This part of the cell cycle is best described as the process that —synthesizes new moleculesmaintains genetic homeostasisduplicates the DNAcompletes cell division30sB.5.A: Cell Cycle
- Q2People who have leukemia, a cancer that affects white blood cells, are often given Cytarabine. This drug inhibits the synthesis of DNA. Which phase of the cell cycle is most affected by Cytarabine?M phaseS phaseG1 phaseG2 phase30sB.5.A: Cell Cycle
- Q3The diagram shows cells in different phases of mitosis. A student is trying to find a cell in a particular phase of mitosis. The student is looking for evidence that spindle fibers are separating the chromosomes to ensure that each new nucleus has one copy of each chromosome. Which cell is in the phase of mitosis that the student is searching for?Cell 4Cell 2Cell 1Cell 330sB.5.A: Cell Cycle
- Q4Cells pass through a G checkpoint before entering mitosis. Ideally, if DNA damage is 2 detected, the cells do not enter mitosis until the damage is repaired. Why is DNA damage repaired before cells enter mitosis?So that the cytoplasm can be divided equally between the two daughter cellsSo that the chromosomes can align at the metaphase plate during mitosisSo that healthy daughter cells are produced, allowing the organism to continue growingSo that another round of DNA synthesis does not have to take place30sB.5.A: Cell Cycle
- Q5The model represents the change in the DNA content of a cell during the cell cycle. Which part of the model represents the S phase?IVIIIIII30sB.5.A: Cell Cycle
- Q6Scientists can bioengineer skin in a laboratory to treat severe burns and other types of skin injuries. This bioengineered tissue is grown from living cells. The cellular process that enables the cells to grow and develop into tissue is —conjugationbuddingmitosismeiosis30sB.5.A: Cell Cycle
- Q7Checkpoints occur between the stages of the cell cycle. If a cell does not meet certain criteria at the end of a stage, it will not move to the next stage. Which of these occurs just before the cell enters the G2 stage of the cell cycle?The nucleolus dividesCentrioles formDNA replicatesThe nuclear membrane disintegrates30sB.5.A: Cell Cycle
- Q8Telophase is a stage of a cellular process that begins after the chromosomes have moved to opposite poles of the cell. During which cellular process does telophase occur?TranscriptionTranslationMitosisInterphase30sB.5.A: Cell Cycle
- Q9A photomicrograph of onion root tip cells during mitosis is shown below. Which phase of mitosis is occurring in the cell indicated by the arrow?MetaphaseTelophaseAnaphaseProphase30sB.5.A: Cell Cycle
- Q10Which of these must occur during S phase of the cell cycle so that two daughter cells can be produced during M phase?The chromosomes must be joinedThe cell membrane must be expandedThe cytoplasm must be separatedThe DNA must be replicated30sB.5.A: Cell Cycle
- Q11The activities in the cell cycle occur during specific phases. In which phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?G1 phaseS phaseMitosisG2 phase60sB.5.A: Cell Cycle
- Q12This model of the cell cycle includes two arrows that each represent a process in the cycle. What do the two arrows represent?Arrow 1 represents interphase, and Arrow 2 represents mitosis.Arrow 1 represents prophase, and Arrow 2 represents interphase.Arrow 1 represents mitosis, and Arrow 2 represents meiosis.Arrow 1 represents meiosis, and Arrow 2 represents prophase.60sB.5.A: Cell Cycle
