- 1. Multiple ChoiceHow is the number of chromosomes in a human sex cell different from the number in a human body cell?A sex cell has 23 chromosomes and a body cell has 46.A sex cell has 46 chromosomes and a body cell has 23.A sex cell has chromosomes that are halfA sex cell has chromosomes that are twice as long as those in a body cell.
- 2. Multiple ChoiceDante wants to match the types of cells with how they are produced. Which choice correctly matches a type of cell with how it is produced?Egg cell --> meiosis in malesSperm cell --> mitosis in malesBody cell --> mitosis in femalesBody cell --> meiosis in females
- 3. Multiple Choice
The diagram above shows a human cell. What type of cell is this?A reproductive cell (sex cell) made from mitosisA body cell made from mitosisA body cell made from meiosisA reproductive cell (sex cell) made from meiosis - 4. Multiple ChoiceHow is meiosis related to sexual reproduction?Meiosis allows the offspring produced during sexual reproduction to grow and develop.Meiosis joins together the sex cells during sexual reproduction to produce new offspringMeiosis produces the sex cells that join to form new offspring during fertilization.Meiosis produces the body cells that join to form new offspring during fertilization.

- 6. Multiple ChoiceWhich of these choices is NOT a reason for mitosis taking place in a multi-cellular organism?GrowthRepairing WoundsAsexual ReproductionMaking Sex Cells
- 7. Multiple ChoiceDuring a lab experiment, Rahul looks at six unlabeled slides showing different stages of the cell cycle. The teacher asks Rahul to place the slides in order, starting with Interphase. In what order should Rahul place the slides?Interphase --> prophase --> anaphase --> metaphase --> telophaseInterphase --> anaphase --> metaphase --> prophase --> telophaseInterphase --> telophase --> anaphase --> metaphase --> prophaseInterphase --> prophase --> metaphase --> anaphase --> telophase
- 8. Multiple ChoiceWhich of these statements is true of asexual reproduction?It produces offspring genetically identical to each other and requires one parent.It produces offspring genetically identical to each other and requires two parents.It produces offspring genetically different from each other and requires one parent.It produces offspring genetically different from each other and requires two parents.
- 9. Multiple ChoiceWhich type of reproduction involves two parents and results in offspring that are not genetically identical to either parent?Binary fissionAsexual reproductionSexual reproductionVegetative reproduction
- 10. Multiple ChoiceA group of scientists test three different types of cells – muscle cells, nerve cells, and skin cells – to find out which cell type goes through the steps of mitosis the fastest. The scientists time 100 cell divisions for each type of cell. The temperature and amount of light is the same for all of the cells. What is a controlled variable (or constant) in this investigation?The speed of the divisionsThe types of cellsThe temperatureThe age of the scientists
- 11. Multiple ChoiceWhich of the following occurs during Anaphase I?Chromosomes cluster at the two poles of the cell.Crossing over occursChromosomes align down the center of the cell.One version of each chromosome moves toward a pole (sides).
- 12. Multiple ChoiceWhat does meiosis create?Skin cellsReproductive (or sex) cellsOnly egg cellsNerve cells
- 13. Multiple ChoiceSelect the best description of a chromosome.material used to form the cell membranetightly wound DNA that is ready for cell divisionlong, stretched out strands of DNAmolecules that form the sex cells
- 14. Multiple ChoiceIn the picture above, a small, aquatic animal called a hydra is reproducing. Which term best describes the process shown in the picture?buddingbinary fissionsporulationfertilization
- 15. Multiple ChoiceWhich reason BEST explains why reproduction is necessary?The survival of every species depends on the ability of organisms to reproduce.Reproduction decreases differences in speciesReproduction creates simpler body structures.Organisms reproduce so they can move from one ecosystem to another.
- 16. Multiple ChoiceWhich of these choices is not a reason for mitosis taking place in a multi-cellular organism?growthrepairing woundsasexual reproductionmaking sex cells
