Chapter 10 Quiz 1

As a cell becomes larger, its

If the surface area of a cell that is shaped like a cube increases 100 times, its volume increases about

All of the following are problems that growth causes for cells EXCEPT

Compared to small cells, large cells have more trouble

After cell division, each daughter cell has

A multicellular organism begins life as a single cell—a fertilized egg with a complete set of chromosomes. The picture in Figure 10–2 above shows how the cell divides to become two cells, then four cells, eight cells, and so on. Which of the following statements best describes what happens during this process?

Which pair includes a phase of the cell cycle and a cellular process that occurs during that phase?

When during the cell cycle is a cell’s DNA replicated?

In Figure 10–4, what role does structure A play in mitosis?

The structure labeled A in Figure 10–5 is called the

The structures labeled B in Figure 10–5 are called

During which phase(s) of mitosis are structures like the one shown in Figure 10–5 visible?

One difference between cell division in plant cells and in animal cells is that plant cells have

The process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells is called

An advantage of sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction is that sexual reproduction

Which of the following is a correct statement about the events of the cell cycle?

Cell division is represented in Figure 10–3 by the letter

First phase of mitosis is called

During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up along the middle of the dividing cell?

Which of the following represents the phases of mitosis in their proper sequence?

What is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis?

The two main stages of cell division are called

During normal mitotic cell division, a parent cell that has four chromosomes will produce two daughter cells, each containing

Which of the following explains why body cells would undergo mitotic cell division?

The structure shown in Figure 10–5 is a replicated chromosome.

The smaller a cell is, the more difficult it is for the cell to move enough nutrients and wastes across its cell membrane to maintain its normal functions.

In eukarotes, the spindle breaks down during prophase and re-forms during telophase.

Typically, the longest phase of mitosis is anaphase.

The cell shown in step E in Figure 10-7 above is undergoing telophase.

The number of sister chromatids in a human body cell that is entering cell division is [blank_start]____________________[blank_end].

A cell that has 5 chromosomes in the G1 phase will have [blank_start]10[blank_end] chromatids in the G2 phase.

The structure labeled A in Figure 10–8 is called the [blank_start]_________________________[blank_end].
