A. Cell cycle
What is the process of cells duplicating to create two identical daughter cells?
Mitosis
The cell begins to get longer
A. ProphaseB. Telophase
A. Prophase
Which cells are generally smaller in size?
A. Plant Cells
B. Animal Cells
Animal Cells!
Animal cells do not have a cell wall to help support them like plant cells do. They are usually smaller in size to help accommodate the lack of a cell wall.

B. Synthesis (S)
C. Growth 2 (G2)
Identify the four stages of Mitosis IN ORDER.
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
Sister Chromatids in each duplicated chromosome separate and are pulled in opposite direction by the spindle fibers.
A. AnaphaseB. telophase
A. Anaphase
What does it mean when we say "Cells are the smallest unit of structure and function in living organisms"?
Cells are self-sufficient. They can carry out the processes to survive without being attached to a complete organism.
The organelles of an organism are not able to function properly without the help from the rest of the cell and are not considered to be "alive".
A. Nucleus
B. DNA
B. DNA
What are two things that happen during the Growth 1 and the Growth 2 phases of Interphase?
A. Cell roughly doubles in size
B. New organelles are created to help with cell division.
What is the phase of cell division where two new cells are separated and complete?
Two identical set of chromosomes are at opposite ends of the cell.
A. Anaphase
B. Telophase
B. Telophase
What is one example of a cell type that does not need to multiply very often?

The cleavage furrow forms and the cell's cytoplasm is divided in half to create two daughter cells.
A. Interphase
B. Cytokinesis
B. Cytokinesis
