Mitosis:

Mitosis - CSCC

QuestionAnswer
Which phase of mitosis is associated with chromosomes aligned at the center of the cell? metaphase
Which phase of mitosis is associated with formation of the nuclear envelope? telophase
Which phase of mitosis is associated with separation of chromatids? anaphase
During cell division, microtubules form a network of protein cables. A) True B) False True
In the complex cell cycle, cell division preparation continues with the replication of mitochondria and chromosome condensation during which phase? G2
Chromosomes exist in somatic cells as nearly identical copies of each other called homologous chromosomes
A growth disorder in cells that starts when an apparently normal cell begins to grow in an uncontrolled and invasive way is called cancer
Meiosis is the mechanism of cell division that occurs in an organism's non-reproductive cells or somatic cells. A) True B) False False
Cytokinesis takes place during metaphase.A) True B) False False
Normal human cells can go on dividing indefinitely.A) True B) False False
Following telophase in animal cells, a cell plate begins to form. A) True B) False False
Bacteria divide through a process called binary fission. A) True B) False True
A chromosome is a single, long DNA molecule in a compact formation. A) True B) False True
Interphase is the first phase of the cell cycle in which the cell rests. A) True B) False False
The chromosome number in species increases as you climb the evolutionary tree, plants having lower numbers and animals having higher numbers. False
A human embryo can lack one chromosome and still function properly as there are 45 more chromosomes to make up the difference. A) True B) False False
DNA replicates during the S phase of metaphase. A) True B) False False
Cancer can be caused by chemicals that mutate DNA. A) True True
At the end of ______________ mitosis is complete. telophase
The formation of daughter cells that occurs during ____________ signals the end of cell division. cytokinesis
Prokaryotes reproduce new cells by copying DNA then undergoing binary fission.
The eukaryotic cell cycle is different from prokaryotic cell division in all the following ways except in the production of daughter cells.
In eukaryotes, the genetic material is found in chromosomes and most eukaryotes have between 10 and 50 pairs of chromosomes.
Homologous chromosomes carry information about the same traits located in the same places on the chromosomes.
In mitosis, when the duplicated chromosomes line up in the center of the cell, that stage is called metaphase
The division of the cytoplasm in the eukaryotic cell cycle is called cytokinesis
The cell cycle is controlled by a series of checkpoints
When cell division becomes unregulated, and a cluster of cells begins to grow without regard for the normal controls, that is called cancer
Which of the following is a cancer-causing gene? an oncogene
The normal function of the p53 gene in the cell isA) as a tumor-suppressor gene. B) to monitor the DNA for damage. C) to trigger the destruction of cells not capable of DNA repair. D) All of the above. D) All of the above.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
