Cell Cycle

Question 1

The genetic material inside the
nucleus

Answer 1

• Cell
• Nucleus
• Chromosome
• DNA

Question 2

What is a session of DNA called?

Answer 2

Gene

Question 3

What is a cell cycle?

Answer 3

a series of events that takes place in a cell as it grows and divides

Question 4

The cell cycle consists
of 3 different stages:

Answer 4

• Interphase
• Mitosis
• Cytokinesis

Question 5

What are Interphase?

Answer 5

• The cell gets ready to divide.
• The cell grows, DNA duplicates and more organelles are made.

Question 6

What are Mitosis?
Reason One

Answer 6

• This is where cells divide which produces
  daughter cells identical to the parent.

Question 7

What are Mitosis?
Reason Two

Answer 7

Diploid mother cell then Cell division to Diploid daughter cells

Question 8

What is Cytokinesis?

Answer 8

• Cytokinesis, in biology,
• is the process by which one cell physically divides into two cells.

Question 9

Which phase is the longest in the cell cycle?

Answer 9

Growth

Question 10

What is/are the product(s) of mitosis?

Answer 10

2 identical cells

Question 11

Which phase is the shortest in the cell cycle?

Answer 11

Mitosis

Question 12

Why is mitosis important?

Answer 12

• Repair
• Growth

Question 13

Interphase

Answer 13

Chromosomes are replicated

Question 14

Chromosomes

Answer 14

line up in the middle of the cell

Question 15

Mitosis

Answer 15

Chromosomes are pulled
apart from the poles of the cell

Question 16

Cytokinesis

Answer 16

Whole-cell divides

Question 17

Which of these best describes the cells produced through mitotic cell
division?

Answer 17

Two genetically identical daughter cells

Question 18

Which of these processes does not involve mitosis?

Answer 18

Producing gametes

Question 19

Is this Statement True:
Mitosis is the division of chromosomes

Answer 19

True

Question 20

Cells need to divide…

Answer 20

For your body to grow and for body tissue such as skin to continuously renew itself these cells go through the cell cycle

Question 21

A cell spends…

Answer 21

Most of its time in what is called interphase

Question 22

During this time…

Answer 22

Replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division.

Question 23

The cell then leaves

Answer 23

interphase, undergoes mitosis, and completes its division.

Question 24

Mitosis makes …

Answer 24

identical cells

Question 25

Skin cell...

Answer 25

replacing what was lost

Question 26

The process of mitosis...

Answer 26

Is essential to life: it provides new cells for growth and replaces old and dying cells.

Question 27

The original cell is...

Answer 27

Called the mother cell and the two new cells are called daughter cells.

Question 28

The last phase of the cell cycle is called cytokinesis The process...

Answer 28

By which one cell physically divides into two cells

Question 29

How does cytokinesis help...

Answer 29

tissue growth and tissue repair

Question 30

Mitosis is part of the cycle where... separate

Answer 30

Chromosomes

Question 31

Why is mitosis important for organisms?

Answer 31

Mitosis is crucial for: - organisms making new cells - for growth and repair

Question 32

Why mitosis occurs most rapidly when organisms are young

Answer 32

Organisms have a fast rate of growth when young, so many new cells are needed.

Question 33

What is mitosis?

Answer 33

The separation of the nucleus after duplication of DNA.

Question 34

What happens when cells differentiate?

Answer 34

They specialise in performing a function.

Question 35

Why is mitosis imporant?

Answer 35

It allows tissue to grow or replacement of damaged cells.

Question 36

How long does it take approximately for a human cell to complete a cell cycle?

Answer 36

20-24 hours

Question 37

How many chromosomes does a normal body cell have?

Answer 37

46 (23 pairs)

Question 38

What does haploid mean?

Answer 38

It refers to having a full set of chromosomes.

Question 39

What happens in the final stage of the cell cycle?

Answer 39

Cytoplasm and cell membrane divide to produce two genetically identical cells.

Question 40

Why the cell have to grow bigger before mitosis?

Answer 40

To grow big enough to contain more subcellular structures form from duplication.

Question 41

Compare the daughter cells that are produced through mitosis with the partner cell.

Answer 41

There are two new daughter cells, each genetically identical to the parent cell.
