Cell Cycle and Chromosomes Questions

Multiple choice

The process by which a cell divides into two unequal daughter cells is called:

  1. Mitosis

  2. Meiosis

  3. Cytokinesis

  4. Binary fission
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Cytokinesis is the process by which a cell divides into two unequal daughter cells. It occurs after mitosis or meiosis and involves the division of the cytoplasm and cell membrane.

Multiple choice

The process by which bacteria divide into two identical daughter cells is called:

  1. Mitosis

  2. Meiosis

  3. Cytokinesis

  4. Binary fission
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Binary fission is the process by which bacteria divide into two identical daughter cells. It is a simple process that involves the replication of the DNA molecule and the division of the cell into two equal parts.

Multiple choice

Which of the following is NOT a type of cell division:

  1. Mitosis

  2. Meiosis

  3. Cytokinesis

  4. Budding
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Budding is not a type of cell division. It is a process by which some yeasts and bacteria reproduce. In budding, a new cell grows out of the side of the parent cell and eventually detaches to form a new individual.

Multiple choice

Which of the following is NOT a type of cell cycle checkpoint?

  1. G1 checkpoint

  2. G2 checkpoint

  3. M checkpoint

  4. S checkpoint
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

There is no S checkpoint in the cell cycle.
