21. If an animal has 40 chromosomes in each of its somatic cells and divides in mitosis how many
chromosomes will the new (daughter) cells have?
22. How is the cell cycle different in a plant than in an animal? (think about cytokensis)
23. What is purpose of mitosis? - Name 3 things that Mitosis controls in your body.
24. A mutated cell that is undergoing constant, uncontrolled cell growth is considered this25. Mitosis produces how many new cells?

28. 90% of a cell life span is spent in one stage?
29. After a cell completes Cytokenisis, What happens next?
30. If we compared the original cell to the 2 new daughter cells at the end of mitosis. What observations could
be made?
31. The nuclear envelope disappears in what stage?
32. Label the following stages and number them in the order they take place from 1-6.
