Mitosis Quiz EXAM PREP WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTION
3 things that happened during interphase - =1. The cell grows to its mature size
2. makes a copy of its DNA
3. Prepares to divide into 2 cells
Describe what happens when the cell is growing - =The cell doubles in size and produces new
ribosomes, copies mitochondria/chloroplasts
What is replication - =When the cell makes a copy of the DNA in its nucleus in a process
What is the function of DNA - =A nucleic acid found in the chromosomes that holds all the
information that the cell needs to carry out its functions
Could the two new daughter cells survive without the Parent's cells DNA? Explain. - =No
because the DNA of the daughter cells must be replications of the DNA of the Parent's cells
Describe what happens after the cell's DNA has been replicated - =Preparation for cell division
begins
Why do you think Interphase is known as the resting phase? - =It's a state where cell division
doesn't occur
Describe what happens during Mitosis - =The state during which the cell's nucleus divides
nucleus into 2 nuclei. One copy of the DNA is distributed into each of the two nuclei
4 phases of mitosis and what do they do - =1. Prophase- Chromatin condenses
2. Metaphase- Chromosomes attach to spindle fibers
