Unit 8: Cell Reproduction
Instead of having one Unit 8 Test, we will have several short quizzes. Each quiz will have its own Study
Guide. The Study Guides for each quiz will be provided in advance.
Quiz Number 1: Cell Reproduction- Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes
1. What evidence supports that cells undergo reproduction? Why do cells reproduce?
2. List the three processes that must occur in order for any type of cell to divide (reproduce).
3. WHY do prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells reproduce using different processes?
4. Do prokaryotic cells reproduce faster than eukaryotic cells?
5. Compare the genetic material of a prokaryote to the genetic material of a eukaryote.
6. List and describe the process known as binary fission as it related to prokaryotic cells.
7. Define and describe the four stages in the cell cycle.
8. Do all eukaryotic cells complete the cell cycle?
9. Distinguish between interphase and cell division within the cell cycle.
10. How is the cell cycle controlled or regulated?
11. What happens when the cell cycle is not regulated?
Important Vocabulary Terms:
Cyclins
Binary fission
Mitotic cell division
Check points
Segregation of genetic material
Cytokinesis – separation of cytoplasm
(along with cellular organelles)
Chromosome
Go Phase
Cancer
Metastasis
Tumor
septation
Looking ahead – Here is a sneak peak as to what we will be learning for Quiz 2. This Study
Guide will be updated. You will receive a complete Quiz 2 Study Guide on the Quiz 1 date.
Quiz Number 2 – Up Close and Personal with Mitosis and Cytokinesis
1. List and describe the stages within the cell cycle known as Mitosis.
2. Recognize a cell in prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase
3. Describe the DNA within the different phases of the cell cycle using the terms: chromatin,
chromosome, chromatids.
4. Describe the process of cytokinesis as it relates to plant cells.
5. Describe the process of cytokinesis as it relates to animal cells
Quiz Number 3: To be announced
