Biology Mitosis/Meiosis Test Review
1. Why don’t cells just keep growing bigger and bigger?
Nutrients need to diffuse in and that would be too slow with a large cell
2. When during the cell cycle is a cell's DNA replicated?
S Phase
Figure 10-2
3. The structure labeled A in Figure 10-2 is called the
Centromere
4. The structures labeled B in Figure 10-2 are called
Sister Chromaids
5. During which phase(s) of mitosis are structures like the one shown in Figure 10-2 visible?
Prophase
6. The first phase of mitosis is called
Prophase
7. During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up along the middle of the dividing cell?
Metaphase
8.
What are the phases of mitosis in their proper sequence?
Prophase – Metaphase – Anaphase - Telophase
9. What is the role of the spindle during mitosis?
Separate homologous chromosomes and sister chromatids
10. One difference between cell division in plant cells and in animal cells is that during cytokenesis plant cells
have
A cell plate
11.
During normal mitotic cell division (mitosis), a parent cell having four chromosomes will
produce two daughter cells, each containing
4 chromosomes
12. True/False - Homologous chromosomes may have one chromosome for hair color and another for eye color.
False – they contain the same genes
13. If an organism’s diploid number is 12, its haploid number is

B
19.
Which of the following stages in Figure 11-6 are 2N?
A, B C

F
21. Organisms that cannot make their own food and must obtain energy from the foods they eat are called
Autotrophs
22. The Calvin cycle is another name for
Light Independant reactions

glucose
24. Which of these processes takes place in the cytoplasm of a cell?
glycolysis
25. Which organelle makes proteins using coded instructions that come from the nucleus?
ribosomes
26. List and describe the main events of the cell cycle. Illustrate your description with a diagram of the cell cycle.
Interphase – Mitosis (PMAT) - cytokinesis
27. Which cells have to divide through meiosis and explain why?
Gametes so that they can become haploid
28. When you look at a group of cells under a microscope most cells appear to be in interphase. Explain why.
Because interphase is the longest phase
29. When does crossing over happen in meiosis? Why is it important for this to occur?
Prophase I – it makes all gametes unique
