- 1. Multiple Choice
Interphase is when a cell is growing, replicating its DNA, and carrying out cell processes. Which of these is correct regarding when Interphase happens?
It occurs once before mitosis and once before meiosis.
It occurs once before mitosis and twice before meiosis.
It occurs once before mitosis and does not occur before meiosis.
It does not occur before mitosis and occurs once before meiosis.
- 2. Multiple Choice
Why would it be important to replicate DNAbefore a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?
In order for enough genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.
In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.
In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.
In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells.
- 3. Multiple ChoiceIn mitosis, the two resulting cells aredifferent from the starting cell and identical to each other.different from the starting cell and different from each other.identical to the starting cell and different from each other.identical to the starting cell and identical to each other.
- 4. Multiple Choice
Meiosis produces different types of cells than mitosis. Which cells would NOT be members of the "meiosis club,"?
gametes
body cells
sperm cells
egg cells
- 5. Multiple Choice
In meiosis, crossing over occurs in prophase 1. What is the significance of crossing over?
Crossing over ensures chromosomes are evenly divided into daughter cells.
Crossing over can lead to genetic variation in daughter cells.
Crossing over can create mutations in daughter cells.
Crossing over allows chromosomes to line up in the center of the cell.
- 6. Multiple ChoiceMitosis is useful for the creation of new cells which is important for all of the following EXCEPTorganism growth.repair of damage.replacement of worn out cells.generation of gametes.
