Mitosis and the cell cycle

Question 1

What type of cell division occurs during the cell cycle?

Answer 1

Mitosis

Question 2

What are the cells produced at the end of mitosis called?

Answer 2

Daughter cells

Question 3

True or False: Daughter cells produced in mitosis are identical to the parent cell.

Answer 3

True

Question 4

What type of cell division occurs during the cell cycle?

Answer 4

Mitosis

Question 5

What are the cells produced at the end of mitosis called?

Answer 5

Daughter cells

Question 6

True or False: Daughter cells produced in mitosis are identical to the parent cell.

Answer 6

True

Question 7

Fill in the blank: The formula to estimate the length of different stages of the cell cycle is: Length of time in phase = _______

Answer 7

(observed number of cells at that stage / total number of cells observed)

× total length of time of cell cycle

Question 8

What is the first stage of Mitosis?

Answer 8

Prophase, Chromosomes duplicate to from another full set of chromosomes. E.g 23 pairs chromosomes become 46 pairs.

Question 9

What is the second stage of Mitosis?

Answer 9

Metophase, Other sub cellular organelles duplicate. E.g. Ribosomes,cytoplasm and mitochondria. The chromosomes also line up at the equator of the cell.

Question 10

What is the third stage of Mitosis?

Answer 10

Anaphase, 1 of each pair of chromosomes is pulled to opposite poles of the cell using spindle fibres

Question 11

What is the last stage of Mitosis?

Answer 11

Telophase (pronounced teelophase) The cell membrane splits and the nucleus reforms. The daughter cells are genetically identical.
