Question
What is the name of the parent cell?
Answer
  • Diploid
  • Triploid
  • Mother cell

Question 2

Question
What are the four stages of mitosis?
Answer
  • Interphase
  • Prophase
  • Metaphase
  • Anaphase
  • Telophase
  • Growth of cytoplasm

Question 3

Question
What disappears during prophase?
Answer
  • Nuclear envelope
  • Nucleus
  • Chromosomes
  • Spindle Fibres

Question 4

Question
Why is Mitosis so important?
Answer
  • 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

Question 5

Question
What happens to DNA (chromosomes) in prophase?
Answer
  • It becomes invisible
  • It becomes visible
  • It disappears

Question 6

Question
What happens to the chromosomes during metaphase?
Answer
  • They line up along the equator of the cell
  • They go to each corner of the cell
  • They split

Question 7

Question
What occurs in anaphase?
Answer
  • 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

Question 8

Question
'Ana' stands for 'backwards' and so because the chromatids are pulled back it is called 'anaphase'
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 9

Question
What happens in telophase?
Answer
  • 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.

Question 10

Question
What are the daughter cells identical to?
Answer
  • Each other
  • Each other and the mother cell
  • The mother cell
