| Coverage : The Mitosis Cell Cycle Quiz tests your knowledge about general facts about mitosis and the cell cycle. |
| 1. | What does the acronym IPMAT stand for in reference to the cell cycle? |
| a. | | Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase |
| b. | | Initialphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase |
| c. | | Interphase, prophase, monophase, anaphase, telophase |
| d. | | Interphase, permaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase |
| |
| 2. | How long does a cell cycle last? |
| a. | | It depends on the cell type |
| b. | | It is about the same length for cells of the same type |
| c. | | It varies greatly among cells of the same type |
| d. | | It is always about 24 hours |
| |
| 3. | What are the stages of the cell cycle during mitosis? |
| a. | | Growth, DNA replication, mitosis |
| b. | | Growth, DNA replication, more growth, mitosis |
| c. | | G, S, M |
| d. | | G1, S, G2, M |
| |
| 4. | What happens during interphase in the cell cycle? |
| a. | | DNA is duplicated |
| b. | | Nuclear division takes place |
| c. | | Cell growth takes place |
| d. | | Cytoplasm is divided |
| |
| 5. | How is the spindle apparatus organized during mitosis? |
| a. | | One set of microtubules extends from pole to pole |
| b. | | One set of microtubules extends to the spindle equator |
| c. | | Two sets of microtubules extend from opposite poles and overlap midway |
| d. | | Two sets of microtubules extend from opposite poles and meet in the middle |
| |
| 6. | What do late prophase chromosomes look like? |
| a. | | Loose threadlike fibers |
| b. | | Tightly helical fibers |
| c. | | Thick rod-shaped forms |
| d. | | Thick rectangular forms |
| |
| 7. | Cell growth and DNA replication continue throughout the cell cycle. |
| a. | | True |
| b. | | False |
| |
| 8. | Which of the following happen during metaphase? |
| a. | | Chromosomes are in their most condensed form |
| b. | | Chromosomes line up on the spindle equator |
| c. | | Microtubules attach to sister chromatids of each chromosome |
| d. | | Chromosomes move to opposite spindle poles |
| |
| 9. | If a parent cell is diploid, then each of the two daughter cells former during the cell cycle must also be diploid. |
| a. | | True |
| b. | | False |
| |
| 10. | It is important that the microtubules assemble while the nuclear envelope is intact because: |
| a. | | The nuclear envelope prevents them from interacting with the chromosomes |
| b. | | The chromosomes have already lined up on the spindle equator before they assemble |
| c. | | In early prophase the chromosomes are very dense and are too heavy for them |
| d. | | They would connect with the centrioles inside the nuclear envelope |
| |
| 11. | What happens in telophase? |
| a. | | New nuclear envelopes form |
| b. | | The chromosomes become less dense and more thread-like |
| c. | | The chromosomes become separated from the cytoplasm |
| d. | | The chromosomes are released from the microtubules |
| |
| 12. | Which order for chromosomes in mitosis goes from most to least condensed form? |
| a. | | Prophase, anaphase, metaphase |
| b. | | Metaphase, prophase, anaphase |
| c. | | Anaphase, early prophase, late prophase |
| d. | | Metaphase, anaphase, prophase |
