A young deer needs cell division to grow to its full size. However, a deer’s cells continue to divide through its whole life. Why do an adult deer’s cells continue to divide?
Cell division prevents cancer
Cell division improves the deer's memory
Cell division helps the deer eliminate wastes
Cell division repairs damage from injuries
Cells start to divide when they receive a signal. They continue to divide until they get another signal to stop. A cell with damaged DNA may not respond to the stop signal. The cell can become cancerous and divide uncontrollably. The cancerous cell and all its daughter cells can form a tumor. During which step of the cell cycle does a cell get a signal to begin cell division?
Cytokinesis
Interphase
Prophase
Metaphase
In 1825, French scientist François-Vincent Raspail became the first scientist to observe that every cell is produced through cell division. How is cell division different in single-celled organisms than in multi-celled organisms?
Single-celled organisms duplicate their genetic material twice during cell division.
Cytokinesis divides single-celled organisms into three daughter cells.
There is no metaphase for single-celled organisms.
Cell division results in reproduction in single-celled organisms.
Meara and Mara are inspecting microscope slides. Each slide shows a cell or cells. The students’ task is to identify which stage of the cell cycle each slide shows. Meara reads, “Squamous cells from human cheek swab.” “I recognize this one. It's in interphase,” says Mara, peering into the microscope. Based on Mara's observation, what might have been happening in the cells at the time they were collected?
Two separate nuclei could have been forming
The cells could have been growing to their full size
The cells' DNA could have been condensing into separate chromosomes
The cell membrane could have been squeezing in around the middle of the cell
Aiden and David are inspecting microscope slides. Each slide shows a cell or cells. The students’ task is to identify which stage of the cell cycle each slide shows. David looks at the slide, which is illustrated in the drawing below. “It kind of looks like telophase. Do you see that the genetic material is already divided in two?” Aiden takes a turn at the microscope. “Yes, but what’s that line going down the middle? Is this two different cells?” he asks. Then, describe what is happening to the cell or cells.
Aiden and David are looking at a plant cell during prophase of mitosis
Aiden and David are looking at a plant cell during metaphase of mitosis
Aiden and David are looking at a plant cell during anaphase of mitosis
Aiden and David are looking at a plant cell during cytokinesis
Why is it important for cells in your body to undergo mitosis?
So your body can grow
So your body can replace damaged cells
So your body can replace old cells to maintain life
All are true
What type of cell forms a cell plate during cytokinesis, since its cell wall will not allow the cell membrane to "pinch in"?
Muscle cell
Plant cell
Human cell
Cat cell
Which phase of mitosis is shown here?
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
A cell spends most of its life in:
Prophase
Metaphase
Telophase
Interphase
During what phase of mitosis does the DNA condense into two separate chromosomes (made of two chromatids connected by a centromere)?
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
During what phase of mitosis are the chromatids pulled to opposite ends of the cell?
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
During what phase of mitosis do fibers connected to the centrioles pull the chromatids apart into each side of the cell?
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
During what phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up along the center of the cell?
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Which of the following scenarios would not prompt a cell to divide?
A bone elongating during a growth spurt
Tissue healing after an injury
Stretching of a cell to allow more fat storage
A muscle growing during a growth spurt
What is the first step in a bone healing?
A blood clot forms, and the site becomes inflamed. Stem cells flood the site
The stem cells divide, over and over again, and form fibers of cartilage that connect the bone fragments
The flexible cartilage is replaced by hard bone. The outside of the bone has a bump (called a callus) where the fracture occurred
The bone gradually gets stronger and the callus becomes less noticeable
What is a series of connected events that happen in a specific order?
Sequence
Rock Cycle
Water Cycle
Bicycle
When a cell divides what do we call its offspring?
Son cells
Father Cells
Mother Cells
Daughter Cells
When DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) copies itself, we call the process:
Revision
Replication
Revival
Reconciliation
The whole purpose for mitosis is for:
Cells to change their function for different organs
Cells to move from one organism to another
Cells to reproduce
Cells to get rid of their organelles
Which is not a part of mitosis?
Metaphase
Interphase
Telophase
Anaphase
