Unit 5 Cell Division Study Guide Answers

Mitosis and meiosis are two types of cell division. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells during somatic cell division or asexual reproduction, and has four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase followed by cytokinesis. Meiosis produces four non-identical haploid daughter cells during sexual reproduction through a two-part cell division including crossing over. Cancer is caused by mutations in DNA that cause uncontrolled cell growth and spreading.

Unit 4: Cell Division Study Guide

Prokaryotic Cells Reproduction


1. How do prokaryotic cells reproduce?
Binary fission.
Cell Cycle
2. List and describe what happens at each part of Interphase.
G1 the cell growth
S DNA synthesis
G2 Preparation for mitosis
3. What occurs happens when a cell enters G0?
 the cell cycle machinery is dismantled, and cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases disappear.
4. How do cell checkpoints relate to cancer?
This is relevant to cancer because checkpoint mutants show genetic instability.
5. What causes cancer?
Cancer is caused by changes (mutations) to the DNA within cells.
6. What is cancer?
Cancer is a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other
parts of the body.
7. What is the difference between interphase and mitosis?
Interphase is often included in discussions of mitosis, but interphase is technically not part of
mitosis, but rather encompasses stages G1, S, and G2 of the cell cycle. 

Eukaryotic Body Cells Mitosis


8. What is mitosis?
Mitosis is the phase of the cell cycle where the nucleus of a cell is divided into two nuclei with
an equal amount of genetic material in both the daughter nuclei.
9. What is the difference between cytokinesis and mitosis?
The difference between cytokinesis and mitosis is that mitosis is a mechanism through which
the copied chromosome in a cell into the same sections cannot come from each other.
Cytokinesis is an association in which the cytoplasm’s of the cell partitions form two ‘girls’ cells.
10. What four processes does mitosis accomplish in the body?
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis
11. What type of cells doe mitosis create?
Somatic cells, adult stem cells, and the cells in the embryo are the three types of cells in the
body that undergo mitosis
12. What is the DNA like in the daughter cells created during mitosis?
 daughter cells. Each daughter cell contains one half of the chromatid pair, or DNA. 
13. What type of reproduction uses mitosis to reproduce?
asexual
14. What are some organisms that reproduce asexually?
 Protozoans, bacteria and a group of algae called diatoms reproduce through fission.
15.
4. telophase 3. Anaphase 1. prophase 5. cytokinesis 2. metaphase
Number the phases of mitosis in order from what happens first to last.
Eukaryotic Sex Cells Meiosis
16. What is meiosis?
Meiosis is the process in which a single cell divides twice to form four haploid daughter cells.
17. In which phase meiosis does crossing over occur? What is crossing over?
Prophase 1 , Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between non- sister chromatids
of homologous chromosomes during meiosis, which results in new allelic combinations in the
daughter cells.
18. How many cells are created in meiosis? What kind of cells are they?
4 daughter cells
19. What is the DNA like in the cells created?
Every cell in the body is created with identical strands of DNA.
20. What type of reproduction uses meiosis?
Cell reproduction.
21. Create a Venn diagram to compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis.
