This 'Chapter 8 bio quiz' assesses understanding of cell division, focusing on differences between bacterial fission and human mitosis, cell cycle phases, and functions of mitotic division. It enhances knowledge crucial for students studying cellular biology.
Muscle cell
Skin cell
Cancer cell
Cell from an embryo

Growth
Repair of damaged organs
Production of gametes
Cell replacement
Rate this question:
Is responsible for body growth and repair
Halves the number of chromosomes in cells
Is the process by which the body produces diploid cells
Ollows mitosis and splits the cytoplasm into two
Is important in asexual reproduction
Rate this question:
Important in genetic recombination
What makes a cell become cancerous
A key process that occurs during mitosis

Mutation
Rate this question:
M
G1
S
G2
Cytokinesis
Rate this question:
Eggs are produced so rapidly that there is more chance or error
Down syndrome is due to a dominant gene in women, a recessive gene in men
Most women inherit down syndrome from their mothers
Eggs are produced in much larger numbers than sperm
Meiosis takes longer in the ovary, increasing the likelihood of error

Inversion
Duplication
Translocation
Deletion
A and b are equally the most serious
Rate this question:
A decrease in chromosome number
Inability to duplicate DNA
Division of the organism into many cells, most lacking nuclei
Arge cells containing many nuclei
A rapid rate of sexual reproduction
Rate this question:
Chromosomes are duplicated before mitosis
Meiosis is not followed by cytokinesis
Homologous pairs of chromosomes are split up in meiosis
A spindle formed of microtubules moves the chromosomes in mitosis
Crossing over occurs in mitosis

Rate this question:
Carry identical genetic information at corresponding locations
carry information for the same characteristics at different locations
Carry identical genetic information at different locations
Carry information for the same characteristics at corresponding locations
Any of the above is possible.
Rate this question:
Metaphase of mitosis
Prophase i of meiosis
Telophase 2 of meiosis
Prophase 2 of meiosis
Telophase of mitosis
Rate this question:

Chromosome duplication
Pairing of homologous chromosomes
Cytokinesis
Joining of sister chromatids at the centromere
Rate this question:
50 chromosomes, each consisting of 2 chromatids
50 chromosomes, each consisting of 1 chromatid
100 chromosomes, each consisting of 2 chromatids
100 chromosomes, each consisting of 1 chromatid
200 chromosomes, each consisting of 1 chromatid

Part of a chromosome duplicated
A missing chromosome
Part of a chromosome turned around
A translocation
Rate this question:
3
6
12
24
48
Rate this question:
Between prophase and anaphase in mitosis
Between the g1 and g2 phases of the cell cycle
During the m phase of the cell cycle
Between prophase 1 and prophase 2 of meiosis
Between anaphase and telophase of mitosis
Rate this question:
Repair of wounds
growth
Production of gametes from diploid cells
Replacement of lost or damaged cells
Multiplication of somatic cells
Rate this question:
Prophase of mitosis
Telophase 2 of meiosis
Prophase 1 of meiosis
Anaphase of mitosis
Prophase 2 of meiosis
Rate this question:
DNA replication
Formation of the miotic spindle
Cleavage
Formation of the cell plate
Crossing over occurs in mitosis
Rate this question:
The DNA has not been replicated yet
Hey are in the form of long thin strands
They leave the nucleus and are dispersed to other parts of the cell
Homologous chromosomes do not pair up until division starts
The spindle must move them to the metaphase plate before they become visible.

A nondisjuncton
A reciprocal translocation
Rate this question:
There are probably more genes on chromosome 21 than on the others
Chromosome 21 is a sex chromosome and chromosomes 3 and 16 are not
Down syndrome is not more common, just more serious
Extra copies of the chromosomes are probably fatal
Nondisjunction of chromosome 21 probably occurs more frequently
