Mitosis Quiz Review Sheet

Master mitosis with our review quiz! Covers stages, vocab, and cell division essentials.

Stages of Mitosis Labeling Label the following diagram of mitosis of an animal cell. Interphase Prophase Metaphase Centriole Telophase Anaphase Chromosomes Spindle Fibers Centromere 1. During which stage of a cell's cycle fo the replicated chromosomes thicken and become visible? Prophase2. In animal cells, which structure is thought to produce the spindle fibers that help separate the sister chromatids during anaphase? Centrioles3. Once chromosomes have been copied during interphase, the cell is ready to begin what process? Mitosis4. During metaphase, the centromeres attach to what structures? Spindle Fibers5. How many chromosomes does each new cell contain after mitosis if the original cell had 52 original cell chromosomes? 52 Vocabulary Matching Match the vocabulary word that the statement is either completing or the word that completed the statement. Nucleus All of the information that a cell needs to function is stored in the _ of the cell. Replicate What must happen to all chromosomes prior to cell division Mitosis The division of the nucleus is called Cytokinesis The division of the cytoplasm is called Centromere Sister chromatids are connected at an area called the Cell Cycle The _ is the life of the cell from the time it is first formed from a dividing paren cell until its own division into two cells. Chromatid In a chromosome pair connected, what is each individual chromosome called? Spindle Fiber What structure is produced when protein fibers radiate from centrioles? Sort each of the statements and pictures into the correct stage of the cell cycle. Interphase Phase where chromatin is found Period of cell growth and development between mitotic divisions Longest phase of the cell cycle DNA is replicated at the end of this phase Prophase Phase where chromatin condenses to form chromosomes Chromosomes are now visible under the microscope Nucleolus and nuclear membrane start to disappear Metaphase Pairs of sister chromatids are lined up at the center of the cell Last phase where chromatids are together Anaphase Chromatids are pulled to opposite sides of the cell Telophase Cell begins to punch in to start to divide Nuclear membrane starts to reform Cytokinesis After this phase there are two new identical sister cell. There are three main reasons why cells divide rather than continuing to grow larger and larger. What are those reasons? Answer the question in complete sentences. Why is mitosis a form of asexual reproduction? Answer the following in complete sentences. Steps of the Cell Cycle Show how 2 chromosomes are passed from mother cell to two daughter cells, by drawing steps metaphase through cytokinesis.The nucleus should be blue, the chromosomes red, the centromeres green, spindle fiber and centrioles should be black. What role do spindle fibers play in cell division? Answer the following question in complete sentences. True OR False Write the word TRUE or FALSE for each of these statements. False False False False Label the steps Label each of the diagrams according to which stage the cell is in of the cell cycle. anaphase metaphase prophase telophase
