Exercise 4: Mitotic Cell Division

Question 1

Participating cell in mitosis

Answer 1

Somatic cell

Question 2

This is the period of the preparation of the chromosomes when the nucleus prepares to divide.

Answer 2

Prophase

Question 3

The scientific name of material that been used in viewing under microscope

Answer 3

Allium cepa (onion)

Question 4

This phase involves the reconstitution of the nucleus, redistribution of cell organelles and division of the cytoplasm or cytokinesis.

Answer 4

Telophase

Question 5

involves an equal division of nuclear chromatin in kind and in amount and the formation of two daughter cells exactly having the same kind and the same number of chromosomes.

Answer 5

Indirect cell division or mitosis

Question 6

Four phases or stages of mitosis

Answer 6

Prophase, mataphase, anaphase, and telophase

Question 7

The period of orientation of the chromosomes at the equatorial plate or when the chromosomes come to the center of the cell.

Answer 7

Metaphase

Question 8

Two types of cell division

Answer 8

Direct and indirect cell division

Question 9

The period is characterized by the separation of the chromatid pairs into daughter chromosomes and their migration toward the poles.

Answer 9

Anaphase

Question 10

The two significance of mitosis

Answer 10

Reproductive significance (equal distribution of chromosomes to each daughter cells) and;

vegetative significance (process of growth and repair of tissues)

Question 11

Participating cell in meiosis

Answer 11

Sex cell
