Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
How is DNA structured during the metaphase stage of mitosis? - CORRECT ANSWER -
The centromere at the center keeps DNA lined up at the cell's equator.
What is true regarding the transition from metaphase to anaphase during mitosis? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Sister chromatids are aligned along the center of the cell and then pulled apart
into separate chromatids.
Sister chromatids are being separated and moving towards opposite poles of the cell. Which
stage of mitosis is this? - CORRECT ANSWER - Anaphase
A cell undergoing meiosis is currently dividing. The two new daughter cells will be haploid, but
the DNA they contain is still replicated. The homologous chromosomes have separated and are
ready to start the second division, but they have not yet begun the second round of division.
Which stage of the cell cycle is this cell in? - CORRECT ANSWER - Telophase I
Homologous pairs of chromosomes have separated into two cells. Sister chromatids in each cell
have not yet lined up in the middle of the cell. Which stage of the cell cycle is this? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Prophase II
Which type of cell division results in sex cells? - CORRECT ANSWER - Meiosis
Which characteristic describes both meiosis and mitosis? - CORRECT ANSWER - Sister
chromatids separate
Chromosomes are structures that contain hereditary material that will be passed from one
generation to the next. According to this information, which organic molecule must be present in
chromosomes? - CORRECT ANSWER - DNA
