Phases of mitosis in their proper sequence?   Prophase,metaphase, anaphase, telophase  
🗑
What is the role of the spindle during mitosis?   It helps separate the chromosomes  
🗑
The two main stages of cell division are called   Mitosis and cytokinesis  
🗑
One difference between cell division in plant cells and in animal cells is that plant cells have   a cell plate  
🗑
During normal mitotic cell division, a parent cell having four chromosomes will produce two daughter cells, each containing   Four chromosomes  
🗑
Right after a bone breaks, cells at the edge of the injury   Begin to divide rapidly  
🗑
Which of the following is a factor that can stop normal cells from growing?   Contact with other cells  
🗑
Which of the following explains why normal cells grown in a petri dish tend to stop growing once they have covered the bottom of the dish?   Contact with other cells stops cell growth  
🗑
In eukaryotic cells, the timing of the cell cycle is regulated by   Cyclins  
🗑
Cyclins are a family of closely related proteins that   Regulate the cell cycle  
🗑
Which of the following regulate the cell cycle?   All of the above- growth factors, cyclins, p53  
🗑
Cancer is a disorder in which some cells have lost the ability to control their   Growth rate  
🗑
Cancer cells form masses of cells called   Tumors  
🗑
Cancer affects   multicellular organisms  
🗑
What is a tumor?   A mass of cancer cells  
🗑
The number of chromosomes in a gamete is represented by the symbol   N  
🗑
If an organisms diploid number is 12, its haploid number is   6  
🗑
Gametes are produced by the process of   Meiosis  
🗑
Chromosomes form tetrads during   prophase 1 of meiosis  
🗑
What happens between meiosis 1 and meiosis 2 that reduces the number of chromosomes?   Replication does not occur  
🗑
Unlike mitosis, meiosis results in the formation of   Haploid cells  
🗑
Unlike mitosis, meiosis results in the formation of   4 genetically different cells  
🗑
Crossing over rarely occurs in mitosis, unlike meiosis. Which of the following is the likely reason?   Chromatids are not involved in mitosis  
🗑
The larger a cell becomes, the ___ efficiently it is able to function   less  
🗑
Before a normal cell becomes too large to carry out normal activities, it will usually divide to form two ________ cells.   daughter  
🗑
Together, the G1, S phase, and G2 phase are called   Interphase  
🗑
Another name for cell division is the __ phase   M  
🗑
The number of sister chromatids in a human body cell that is entering cell division is   92  
🗑
During metaphase, the centromere on each chromosome is connected to a structure called a   Spindle fiber  
🗑
Proteins called ____ regulate the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cells   cyclin  
🗑
In all forms of _______ , the cancerous cells fail to respond to the signals that regulate the cell cycle of most cells   cancer  
🗑
An organisms gametes have ____ the number of chromosomes found in the organisms body cells   half  
🗑
Crossing over occurs during the stage of meiosis called   prophase 1  
🗑
Distinguish between chromatids and chromatin   Chromatid is one of 2 identical sister parts of a chromosome. Chromatin consists of tightly coiled DNA.  
🗑
Injuries to the skin heal completely, while injuries to the spinal cord may result in paralysis. What characteristic of the two types of cells in these body parts accounts for this difference?   Skin cells can reproduce, nerve cells can not replicate  
🗑
Identify a factor that can stop cells from dividing   Cell contact- contact with other cells  
🗑
How do cancer cells differ from normal cells?   Cancer cells do not stop reproducing/duplicating  
🗑
What might happen if the gametes of a species had the same number of chromosomes as the species body cells?   It wouldn't work because it'd have too many, twice as many as you need.  
🗑
How many sets of chromosomes are in a diploid cell?   2 sets  
🗑
Define homologous chromosomes   Chromosomes that have a corresponding chromosome from the other parent  
🗑
Contrast the cells produced by mitosis with those produced by meiosis   Mitosis results in the production of 2 identical cells, meiosis produces 4 genetically different haploid cells  
🗑
Describe what happens during the 4 stages of mitosis   Pro phase is when chromosomes become visible. Metaphase is when the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell. Anaphase is when the sister chromatids separate and become individual chromosomes. Telophase is when chromosomes disperce.  
🗑
The relationship between mitosis and cytokinesis? what would be the result if one happened without the other?   Mitosis is when the cell divides, cytokinesis is when the cell membrane seperates. The result if one happened without the other would be mitosis couldn't happen.

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
