  1. Which is the result of mitosis?
  1. Last year Steve was shorter than his brother. This year Steve is taller than his brother. What cell process is directly responsible for Steve's growth?
  1. At the end of the mitotic cycle, a cell divides into two cells. What must happen before the cell divides?
  1. If a cell is exposed to a chemical that inhibits the production of spindle fibers as the cell is preparing for mitosis, what would MOST likely happen?
  1. During which phase of meiosis does the separation of homologous chromosomes occur?
  1. All of the following events occur during prophase in mitosis EXCEP
  1. A scientist studied human skin cells as they produced two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell. The scientist mapped the steps as shown.

Which of the following did the scientist map in this scenario?

  1. A diagram of a plant cell is shown.

What process is shown in the diagram?

  1. The picture below shows a cell undergoing a process.

This process is necessary in order to

  1. A human body cell has 46 chromosomes. Which diagram represents mitosis in a human body cell?
  1. What process is shown in the plant cell below?
  1. The graphic shows the process involved in the cell cycle.

damaged or dead cells. Is which part of the cycle are new

cells formed?

  1. Which phase of mitosis is represented in the diagram?
  1. The cell cycle is divided into interphase and mitosis.
  2. In plant cells, cytokinesis begins with a furrow that pinches the cell.
  3. By the end of prophase, each of the following has occurred except
  4. Which of the cells depicted in the line graph in Figure 9-2are most likely cancerous?
  1. If cancer is present, what is the likely

explanation for what happened to the

cells depicted in the curves labeled B and

D in Figure 9-2?

  1. Which of the graphs in Figure 9-3 shows the correct changes in the amount of DNA in a cell as it moves through one cell cycle?
  1. Figure 9-4illustrates which stage of mitosis?
  1. How is the alignment of chromosomes, shown in

Figure 9-4,on the equatorial plate of the cell

maintained?

  1. Prokaryotes divide by binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction in which
  2. The cell in Figure 9-5 is undergoing mitosis. Which stage of mitosis will follow this one?
  1. DNA replication occurs during
  2. A cell that undergoes repeated mitosis without cytokinesis would have

  5. Which of the following represents the phases of mitosis in their proper sequence
  6. Interphase is represented in Figure 9-6 by the letter?
  1. Unlike mitosis, meiosis results in the formation of
  2. What is shown in Figure 9-7?
  1. This holds the two chromatid arms of the chromosome together in the middle.
  2. List the correct order of cell division for the diagrams below.
