General Biology 1: Quiz 2 Question
and answers 100% correct 2025/2026
Mitosis - correct answer ✔It is a process of cell duplication, or reproduction, during which one cell gives
rise to two genetically identical daughter cells.
Meiosis - correct answer ✔The type of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the
number of chromosomes in gametes (the sex cells, or egg and sperm). In humans, body (or somatic)
cells are diploid, containing two sets of chromosomes (one from each parents).
Cytokinesis - correct answer ✔The physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a
parental cell into two daughter cells.
Spindle Fibers - correct answer ✔This forms a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a
cell. It is necessary to equally divide the chromosomes in a parental cell into two daughter cells during
both types of nuclear division.
Karyokinesis - correct answer ✔The physical process of cell division, which divides the nucleus of a
parental cell into two daughter cells.
Chromatin - correct answer ✔These are the thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal
and plant cells. It is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
Centrioles - correct answer ✔These are paired barrel-shaped organelles located in the cytoplasm of
animal cells near the nuclear envelope. It play a role in organizing microtubules that serve as the cell's
skeletal system. They help determine the locations of the nucleus and other organelles within the cell.
Centromere - correct answer ✔It appears as a constricted region of a chromosome and plays a key role
in helping the cell divide up its DNA during division (mitosis and meiosis). Specifically, it is the region
where the cell's spindle fibers attach.
