What phase is this cell in?
telophase
metaphase
anaphase
prophase
anaphase
Each chromosome consists of 2 .....

What structure is responsible for moving the chromosomes during mitosis?
cytoplasm
nuclear membrane
nucleolus
spindle
spindle
The number of chromosomes in a gamete is the:
homolog number
monoploid number
diploid number
meiosis phase number
diploid number
During cell division a chromosome is made of two distinct strands called
daughter cells
chromatids
centromeres
homologs
homologs
Cell size is an important factor in causing a cell to divide because a cells
volume does not grow as fast as its surface area
surface area does not grow as fast as its volume
need for materials to be moved across its membrane is reduced
shape changes often
surface area does not grow as fast as its volume
If a cell that has 8 chromosomes goes through mitosis, how many chromosomes will each new cell have?
8
16
4
2
8
DNA replication occurs during:
interphase
prophase
telophase
meatphase
interphase
During the cell cycle, the cell spends the most time in .... and the least amount of time in .....
Unlike plant cells, animal cells contain:
nucleoli
cell walls
centrioles
spindles
cell walls
During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up along the middle of the dividing cell?
telophase
prophase
anaphase
metaphase
metaphase
When the DNA in a cell is uncoiled and spread throughout the nucleus it is called:
cromatin
chromatids
chromosomes
cromatin
Structure present in the cytoplasm of an animal cell that is the organizing center of the mictrotubules in which the assembly of the spindle microtubules begins is:
aster
centrosome
cyclin
centropyge
centrosome
Structure of proteins that forms at the centromere of each chromatid and helps attach the mitotic spindle to each sister chromatid is called:
Kinetochores
