  • Diploid

  • Triploid

  • Mother cell

Explanation

Question 2 of 10

1

What are the four stages of mitosis?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Interphase

  • Prophase

  • Metaphase

  • Anaphase

  • Telophase

  • Growth of cytoplasm

Explanation

Question 3 of 10

1

What disappears during prophase?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Nuclear envelope

  • Nucleus

  • Chromosomes

  • Spindle Fibres

Explanation

Question 4 of 10

1

Why is Mitosis so important?

Select one of the following:

  • It replicates our cells so that when we need new ones (i.e. if we get a cut, it can heal)

  • It helps us to make clones of ourselves

  • It is necessary

Explanation

Question 5 of 10

1

What happens to DNA (chromosomes) in prophase?

Select one of the following:

  • It becomes invisible

  • It becomes visible

  • It disappears

Explanation

Question 6 of 10

1

What happens to the chromosomes during metaphase?

Select one of the following:

  • They line up along the equator of the cell

  • They go to each corner of the cell

  • They split

Explanation

Question 7 of 10

1

What occurs in anaphase?

Select one of the following:

  • Chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell

  • Chromosomes become visible and the nucleus and nuclear envelope disappear

  • Chromosomes attach to spindle fibers which pull them apart (contract) and chromatids are pulled to each pole

Explanation

Question 8 of 10

1

'Ana' stands for 'backwards' and so because the chromatids are pulled back it is called 'anaphase'

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 9 of 10

1

What happens in telophase?

Select one of the following:

  • Chromatids turn into chromosomes and the nuclear envelope reforms as does the nucleus.

  • Chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell.

  • Chromosomes attach to spindle fibres which contract and pull apart the chromatids pulling them to each end of the cell.

Explanation

Question 10 of 10

  • Each other

  • Each other and the mother cell

  • The mother cell
