The diagram below shows six cells in various phases of the cell cycle. Note the cells are not arranged in the order in
which the cell cycle occurs. Use the diagram to answer questions 1-7.
____________________1. Cells A & F show an early and a late stage of the same phase of the cell cycle. What
phase is it?
____________________2. Which cell is in metaphase?
____________________3. Which cell is in the first phase of Mitosis?
____________________4. In cell A, what structure is labeled X?
____________________5. List the diagrams in order from first to last in the cell cycle.
____________________6. Are these cells plant or animal cells?
a. Explain your answer.
b. If it were the other type of cell what would be different in the diagrams?
____________________7. What is the longest phase of the cell cycle?
8. Why is mitosis important?
9. Predict what would happen if an individual had faulty spindle fibers.
10. Predict what would happen if cytokinesis was skipped.
