1. What is mitosis?

A.

B.

C.

D.

A cell divides from one parent cell into two identical daughter cells

A cell divides from one parent cell into two different daughter cells

A cell divides from one parent cell into four different daughter cells

A cell divides from one parent cell into four identical daughter cells

2. Which cell cycle stage is the longest?

A.

B.

C.

D.

Interphase

Mitosis

Cytokinesis

Cell Division

3. Why do cells divide?

A.

B.

C.

10. What happens during interphase?

A.

B.

C.

D.

Normal cell function

Cell grows

DNA replication

All of the above

11. If there are 4 chromosomes in the cell at interphase, how many chromosomes will be present after telophase?

12. What is cytokinesis?

A.

B.

C.

D.

Dividing the nucleus

Replicating the DNA

Split the parent cell into two daughter cells

Makes the cell bigger.

13. Which is the chromatids?

B

C

14. Which is the centromere?

B

C

15. Which is the sister chromatids?

B

C

16. What happens in cancer cells?

A.

B.

C.

D.

The DNA mutates and is passed along to the daughter cells. Division happens rapidly and cancer spreads.

The daughter cells do not divide.

The parent cell does not divide.

One daughter cell is bigger than the other daughter cell.

17. What is homeostasis?

A.

B.

C.

D.

Regulation of the internal environment of an organism

How your body functions

Regulation of the external environment of an organism

How organisms survive

18. What is one topic that helps to maintain homeostasis? Bonus if you can name the other two

A.

B.

C.

D.

Maintaining blood sugar

Structure and function

Cell Division

Temperature

19. What do spindle fibers do (orange yarn)?

A.

B.

C.

D.

Pull apart sister chromatids to opposite ends of the cell

Breaks the centromeres of the sister chromatids

Condenses chromosomes

Breaks the cell into two cells

20. Explain one way homeostasis works.

 Could talk about how body regulates glucose, sweat, or water

 Could talk about structure function, division of labor, and interdependence of organ systems.

 Ex: Body gets to hot= sweat to cool you down; Body gets cold= shiver to keep warm, blood circulates towards the center of body the best
