CSET Mitosis

Subjects : cset, science, biology
Instructions:
  • Answer 34 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Has chromosomes and spindle fibers






2. This is the normal state of a cell. We suppose that when it comes to cell division - you could call this the resting state. It's just going about its daily business of surviving and making sure it has all of the nutrients and energy it needs. It is a






3. Asexual reproduction in which a part of the parent organism pinches off and forms a new organism






4. Anaphase: Here we go! The separation begins. Half of the chromosomes are pulled to one side of the cell; half go the other way. When the chromosomes get to the side of the cell - it's time to move on to telophase.






5. Metaphase: Now all of the pieces are aligning themselves for the big split. The DNA lines up along a central axis and the centrioles send out specialized tubules that connect to the DNA. The DNA (chromatin) has now condensed into chromosomes. Two str






6. Telophase: Now the division is finishing up. This is the time when the cell membrane closes in and splits the cell into two pieces. You have two separate cells each with half of the original DNA.






7. Has chromosomes






8. Same for both






9. 2 cells in mitosis






10. Has chromosomes and spindle fibers






11. Asexual reproduction of cells






12. Has nucleas - nucleolus - nuclear membrane - and chromatin






13. How does the process of mitosis help an organism to grow in shape and size?






14. What happens in anaphase?






15. No need for change identical cells






16. Cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes






17. Has nucleas - nucleolus - nuclear membrane - Chromatin -






18. 1. growth - organisms can grow in # of cells and size 2. to replace old or dying cells 3. when we get a cut to heal cuts






19. A type of reproduction involving only one parent that produces genetically identical offspring by budding or by the division of a single cell or the entire organism into two or more parts






20. Cells are identical






21. Where are the chromosomes located in metaphase?






22. Positioning of the chromosomes at each stage same or different?






23. 1. prophase - parent cell nucleaous starts to dissolve 2. metaphase - chromatin condenses into chromosomes nuclear envelope disappears 3. Anaphase - dont marry anyone named anna becasue you will seperate 4. Telophase - 2 cells 2 identical daughter ce






24. Cells that do not contain nuclei BACTERIA FISSION






25. Daughter cells have same # of parent cell (chromosomes)






26. One division in mitosis






27. An animal - like protist






28. In which stage are chromosomes most visible?






29. What cell part begins to appear in the telophase?






30. In what stage can you see the fibers?






31. Prophase: A cell gets the idea that it is time to divide. First - it has to get everything ready. You need to duplicate DNA - get certain pieces in the right position (centrioles) - and generally prepare the cell for the process of mitotic division.






32. Somatic cells go through mitosis






33. Skin cells reproduce by what process?






34. A splitting apart
