DNA/Mitosis Test Review
Test Description: Questions about DNA structure and cell division
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) Which of the following best describes the appearance of a cell during prophase?
A
DNA is in condensed chromosome form and nuclear membrane is beginning to break down
B
the spindle fibers are pulling the duplicated chromosomes to opposite sides of the cell
C
the cell divides into two new cells each with one copy of all the chromosomes and the nuclear membrane reforms
D
the nuclear envelope is dissolved and the spindle fibers have attached themselves to chromosomes down the middle of the cell
2) Which of the following best describes the appearance of a cell during metaphase?
A
the cell divides into two new cells each with one copy of all the chromosomes and the nuclear membrane reforms
B
the nuclear envelope is dissolved and the spindle fibers have attached themselves to chromosomes down the middle of the cell
C
DNA is in condensed chromosome form and nuclear membrane is beginning to break down
D
the spindle fibers are pulling the duplicated chromosomes to opposite sides of the cell
3) Which of the following best describes the appearance of a cell during anaphase?
A
the spindle fibers are pulling the duplicated chromosomes to opposite sides of the cell
B
the nuclear envelope is dissolved and the spindle fibers have attached themselves to chromosomes down the middle of the cell
C
DNA is in condensed chromosome form and nuclear membrane is beginning to break down
D
the cell divides into two new cells each with one copy of all the chromosomes and the nuclear membrane reforms
4) Which of the following best describes the appearance of a cell during telophase?
A
DNA is in condensed chromosome form and nuclear membrane is beginning to break down
B
the nuclear envelope is dissolved and the spindle fibers have attached themselves to chromosomes down the middle of the cell
C
the spindle fibers are pulling the duplicated chromosomes to opposite sides of the cell
D
the cell divides into two new cells each with one copy of all the chromosomes and the nuclear membrane reforms
5) Which of the following phases takes up the most time during the cell cycle?
A
interphase
B
mitosis
C
anaphase
D
prophase
6) Which of the following statements is correct about the process of mitosis?
A
A cell is divided into to new cells that match the parent cell to replace damaged or dying cells
B
the cell continues to grow in size to get ready for DNA replication
C
The cell divides twice to make two different cells
D
Four cells are created that each have half the amount of DNA as the parent cell
7) In a nucleotide...
A
the nitrogen base is attached to the phosphate
B
phosphates and nitrogen bases combine to form the backbone
C
a sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base all line up in one straight line
D
the nitrogen base is attached to the sugar
8) Which of the following terms is used to describe the condensed form of DNA?
A
chromatogen
B
chromatin
C
chromosome
D
DNA double helix
9) Why would DNA replication be affected if nitrogen bases were attached by covalent bonds?
A
replication would be easier because covalent bonds are weaker than hydrogen bonds
B
replication could go twice as fast due to the increased strength of the molecule
C
the nitrogen bases are attached by covalent bonds, so there would be no difference
D
the stronger bonds would hold the two strands togther making it much more difficult to expose the nitrogen bases
10) Why is the S phase of the cell cycle super important?
A
the S phase is not part of the cell cycle
B
It copies the DNA so after mitosis both daughter cells still have all the copies of the chromosomes
C
the cell can divide into two new cells
D
the cell can grow bigger
