MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS QUIZ
What moves the chromatids during mitosis?
Spindle fibers
During what phase does cytokinesis begin?
Telophase
During which stage of mitosis does cytokinesis usually occur in animals?
Telophase
One division
Mitosis
Two daughter cells produced
Mitosis
Involves duplication of chromosomes
Mitosis and Meiosis
What is mitosis and meiosis and why are they important?
Mitosis and meiosis both involve cells dividing to make new cells. This makes them both vital processes for the existence of living things that reproduce sexually. Meiosis makes the cells needed for sexual reproduction to occur, and mitosis replicates non-sex cells needed for growth and development.
How many daughter cells are created from mitosis and cytokinesis?
Two
What structure holds the individual chromatids together?
Centromere
What is the correct order of the 4 stages of mitosis?
1. Prophase 2. Metaphase 3. Anaphase 4. Telophase
Name three things that mitosis is used for.
1. Repair (of a wound) in multicellular organisms 2. Asexual reproduction in unicellular organisms 3. Development (e.g., baby in mother's womb)
If a dog cell has 72 chromosomes, how many daughter cells will be created during a single cell cycle? _____ .....Each of these daughter cells will have how many chromosomes? ___72_______
2, 72
In the cell pictured above, how many chromosomes are present during prophase?
4
If a human cell has 46 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will be in each daughter cell?
46
What anchors the spindle?
Centrioles
Associated with sexual reproduction
Meiosis
Chromosome number is halved
Meiosis
Crossing over between homologous chromosomes may occur
Meiosis
Daughter cells are not identical to parent cell
Meiosis
Four daughter cells produced
Meiosis
Synapsis occurs in prophase
Meiosis
Two Divisions
Meiosis
_________ only occur(s) in the gonads to produce gametes.
Meiosis
Associated with growth and asexual reproduction
Mitosis
Chromosome number is maintained
Mitosis
Daughter cells are identical to parent cell
Mitosis
No pairing of homologs occurs
Mitosis
During which stage of mitosis do the centromeres split?
Anaphase
The nuclear membrane dissolves during what phase?
Prophase
