The DNA was replicated during the S phase of interphase, which occurs between the two G phases

A cell biologist examined the DNA content of a cell from a fruit fly larva during the G1 phase and determined that it had 150 units of DNA. After measuring the DNA content of the same type of cell after the G2 phase, it was discovered that the cell had 300 units of DNA. How is this possible?

A cell contains 40 chromatids at the beginning of mitosis. How many chromosomes will it contain at the completion of cytokinesis?

regulate the cell cycle through a variety of stop and go signals

Checkpoints in the cell cycle control system __________.

identical copies of each other if they are part of the same chromosome

Chromatids are __________.

division of cytoplasm

Cytokinesis refers to __________.

the S phase of interphase in both somatic and reproductive cells

DNA replication occurs in __________.

the origins of replication move apart

During binary fission in a bacterium __________.

dispersed in the nucleus as long strands of chromatin

During interphase, the genetic material of a typical eukaryotic cell is __________.

The nuclear envelope fragments in most eukaryotes but remains intact in diatoms and dinoflagellates

How does the process of mitosis differ between most eukaryotes and other eukaryotes such as diatoms and dinoflagellates?

92

How many chromatids does a human somatic cell contain after interphase and just prior to mitosis?

Cytokinesis

In animal cell mitosis, the cleavage furrow forms during which stage of the cell cycle?

do not exhibit density-dependent inhibition

Observations of cancer cells in culture support the hypothesis that cancer cells __________.

the beginning of the formation of a spindle apparatus

One event occurring during prophase is __________.

chromatin

The complex of DNA and protein that makes up a eukaryotic chromosome is properly called __________.

are genetically identical to the parent cell (assuming no mutation has occurred)

The function of the mitotic cell cycle is to produce daughter cells that __________.

a centromere

The region of a chromosome holding the two double strands of replicated DNA together is called __________.

metastasis

The spread of cancer cells to other locations in the body is known as __________.

Cells of benign tumors do not metastasize; those of malignant tumors do

What is the difference between a benign tumor and a malignant tumor?

- Identical chromatids move to opposite poles - The centromeres divide - A spindle made of microtubules is present - The centrioles are at opposite poles

Which event or events occur during anaphase?

separation of the sister chromatids

Which of the following events does not occur during interphase of the cell cycle?

The mitotic spindle breaks down

Which of the following events does not occur during prophase of mitosis?

The sister chromatids are pulled apart toward opposite sides of the cell

Which of the following events occurs during anaphase of mitosis?

The chromosomes align along the metaphase plate of the cell

Which of the following events occurs during metaphase of mitosis?

the nuclear envelope fragments

Which of the following events occurs during prometaphase of mitosis?

Two distinct daughter nuclei form in the cell

Which of the following events occurs during telophase of mitosis?

Telophase

Which of the following phases of mitosis is essentially the opposite of prometaphase in terms of the nuclear envelope?

Binary fission involves the replication and division of a single chromosome, whereas mitosis involves the division of multiple, replicated chromosomes

Which of the following statements correctly describes the difference(s) between mitosis and binary fission?
