100%.
1. Cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing
the same number of chromosomes - correct answer - Mitosis
2. The resting phase of mitosis. Cell grows, performs its normal
functions, and prepares for division; consists of G1, S, and G2
phases - correct answer - Interphase
3. The first gap, or growth phase, of the cell cycle, consisting of the
portion of interphase before DNA synthesis begins. - correct
answer - G1 Phase
4. Second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes line up
across the center of the cell - correct answer - Metaphase
, Page|2
5. The third phase of mitosis, during which the chromosome pairs
separate and move toward opposite poles - correct answer -
Anaphase
6. The final phase of cell division, between anaphase and
interphase, in which the chromatids or chromosomes move to
opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed. - correct
answer - Telophase
7. Compare and Contrast Mitosis and Meiosis - correct answer -
Mitosis produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells that are
genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell,
whereas meiosis produces four haploid (n) gametes that are
genetically unique from each other and the original parent (germ)
cell.
8. Number of Chromosomes in Humans... - correct answer - 46
, Page|3
9. Haploid Number of Chromosomes In Humans - correct answer -
23
10. The synthesis phase of the cell cycle; the portion of interphase
during which DNA is replicated. - correct answer - S Phase
11. The second gap, or growth phase, of the cell cycle, consisting of
the portion of interphase after DNA synthesis occurs.
12. Growth and preparation for mitosis - correct answer - G2 Phase
13. First and longest phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes
become visible and the centrioles separate and take up positions
on the opposite sides of the nucleus - correct answer - Prophase
14. Cells that have left the cycle and cease dividing for a long time (or
permanently) - correct answer - G Zero (G0) Phase
