What process is shown?

Put the descriptions of the cell cycle next to their corresponding term.

Use the illustration below to answer the question.

Which statement best describes the phase of the cell cycle shown?

Mitosis, a stage in the cell cycle, is important for what reason?

The diagram below shows the process of cell division.

Which of the following statements about the process is correct?

A photomicrograph of onion root tip cells during mitosis is shown below.

Which phase of mitosis is occurring in the cell indicated by the arrow?

As part of the cell cycle, a cell produces new daughter cells that are identical to the original cell.  During which phase are the two daughter cells physically separated?

Order the phases of the cell cycle below in the correct order beginning with interphase.

Construction workers attach ropes and pulleys to wooden timbers on an old bridge.  They use the rope and pulley system like the one in the diagram below to move the timbers away from each other, in order to dismantle the bridge.

Which stage of mitosis is similar to this way of dismantling a bridge?

The model represents the change in the DNA content of a cell during the cell cycle.

Which part of the model represents the S phase?

The cell cycle is a repeating sequence of cellular growth and division during the life of an organism.  Which of the following is not a true statement concerning cell division of body (somatic) cells?

Each summer, up to 40% of the lobsters in a certain area lose one of their claws due to injury.  By late fall, the missing claw usually begins to grow back.  Which of the following describes the process by which lobsters grow new claws?

The following diagrams show four stages of a cell dividing by mitosis.

Order the diagrams in the correct sequence of the cell cycle.

The diagram below represents the cloning of a carrot plant.

Compared to each cell of the original carrot plant, each cell of the new plant will have

Which of these must occur during S phase of the cell cycle so that two daughter cells can be produced during M phase?

Which statement correctly uses the model to explain how mitosis maintains genetic continuity?

The following diagram represents the cell cycle.

Match what occurs at each phase by the correct phase of the cell cycle.

The diagram shows cells in different phases of mitosis.  A student is trying to find a cell in a particular phase of mitosis.  The student is looking for evidence that spindle fibers are separating the chromosomes to ensure that each new nucleus has one copy of each chromosome.

Which cell is in the phase of mitosis that the student is searching for?

All of the following are parts of interphase of the cell cycle EXCEPT…

A cell with 24 chromosomes undergoes mitosis twice.  How many chromosomes will each daughter cell have?

Which event most likely occurs next in mitosis?

The diagram below shows one process of cellular reproduction.

During this process, what occurs in the chromosomes of the cells?

What are the structures labeled A in the drawing?

List the phases of the cell cycle in the proper order.
