The _____ is the regular pattern of growth, development, and division in cells. 

A. Cell cycle

B. Mitosis

A. Cell cycle

100

What is the process of cells duplicating to create two identical daughter cells?

Mitosis

100

The cell begins to get longer 

A. Prophase


B. Telophase


A. Prophase

100

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.

Which word best describes the cells that make up most of your body?

A. Gametes

B. Somatic Cells

B. Somatic Cells 

200

Identify the 2 phases of the cell cycle

A. Interphase

B. Cell division

200

What are the three purposes of cell division?

A. Growth

B. Repair

C. Reproduction

200

Duplicated chromosomes align along the middle of the cell. 

A. Metaphase

B. Anaphase

A. Metaphase

200
These cells are called "Totipotent" and can transform into most different types of cells, based on what is needed at the time.


A. Somatic cells

B. Stem Cells

B. Stem Cells.

200

Which word best describes the reproductive cells in an organism?

A. Gametes

B. Somatic Cells

A. Gametes (Sperm and egg cells)

300

Identify the three stages of Interphase


A. Growth 1 (G1)

B. Synthesis (S)

C. Growth 2 (G2)

300

Identify the four stages of Mitosis IN ORDER.


Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

300

Sister Chromatids in each duplicated chromosome separate and are pulled in opposite direction by the spindle fibers. 

A. Anaphase

B. telophase

A. Anaphase

300

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".

300
Which word best describes the material that holds all genetic information of an organism?


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?

Cytokinesis
400

Two identical set of chromosomes are at opposite ends of the cell. 

A. Anaphase

B. Telophase

B. Telophase

400

What is one example of a cell type that does not need to multiply very often?

Nerve cells

400

What two things are chromosomes made of?
