Mitosis Review
The diagram below shows six cells in various stages of the cell cycle. Note the cells are not arranged in the
order in which mitosis occurs. Use the diagram to answer questions 1-3.
1. Cells A and F show an early and a late stage of the same phase of mitosis. What phase is it?
2. Which cell is in metaphase?
3. Place the diagrams in the correct sequence for the phases of mitosis.
4. A normal human cell has 46 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will each of its daughter cells have?
5. In which phase does a cell spend most of its life?
6. What are the two main parts of the cell cycle?
7. What are the two parts of cell division?
8. What is the purpose of mitosis?
9. Human body cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 total). How many chromosomes would a cell have in
the first phase of mitosis?
10. _________________________ of the cell and _________________________ of the DNA are two important
processes which occur during interphase and are necessary for cell division to take place.
11. Complete the table by checking the correct column for each statement.
Statement
cell growth occurs
chromosomes are distributed equally to daughter cells
chromosomes are duplicated (copied)
DNA synthesis occurs
cytoplasm divides immediately after this period
mitochondria and other organelles are made
Interphase
Mitosis
Match each description with the part of the cell cycle:
A. interphase B. prophase
C. metaphase D. anaphase
E. telophase
F. cytokinesis
12. _____ the chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell
13. _____ the cell grows, matures, and eventually copies its DNA
14. _____ the sister chromatids are pulled apart and move to opposite ends of the cell
15. _____ chromosomes form and the nuclear membrane disappears
16. _____ the cell membrane pinches in, dividing the cytoplasm into two cells
17. _____ a new nuclear membrane forms around both new sets of chromosomes
18. _____ the cytoplasm of the cell is being divided
19. _____ chromosomes are not visible
20. _____ chromosomes are replicated
21. Using colored pencils, show how two chromosomes are passed from parent cell to two daughter cells.
