I - Direction: Supply the missing word in the paragraph below. Choose you answers in the box.
All come from preexisting cells. The process that results in the formation of new cells is called
. Cell division, generally, involves two parts, , which is the division of the , and
, which is division of the .
A in a cell that is “at rest from division” is double-stranded. Each strand is called of
the double-helix is . Since the two in a chromosome contain identical genes or
genetic information, they are also sometimes referred to as . Chromosomes are found in the
nucleus of a . They are chemically made up of molecules of & .
occurs in most body cells also called . occurs during sexual
reproduction to produce or . Most body cells are , represented by 2N,
which means they contain two sets of chromosomes. While they are gametes represented by N,
which means they contain only one set of chromosomes.

and meiosis.

10. These are the so-called sex chromosomes which may be said to constitute a pair of .
a. Homozygous b. Heterozygous c. Heteromorphic d. Homologous
11. Chromatin undergoes progressive condensation due to super-coiling, resulting in the formation of
chromosomes.
a. Prophase b. Anaphase c. Interphase d. Telophase
12. The nuclear envelope starts to break down, gradually dissolving.
a. Prophase b. Anaphase c. Interphase d. Telophase
13. The two groups of chromosomes (which are identical) move apart thanks to the micro-tubules toward
opposite poles of the cell.
a. Metaphase b. Anaphase c. Interphase d. Telophase
14. It is the crucial phase of mitosis because it is when the distribution of the original genetic information
occurs.
a. Metaphase b. Anaphase c. Interphase d. Telophase
15. As the cell prepares for reproduction, it duplicates its DNA and takes the necessary internal and external
measures to successfully undergo the process.
a. Metaphase b. Anaphase c. Telophase d. Interphase
16. A cell divides into two daughter cells that can then divide again, creating a cycle of cell division.
a. Metaphase b. Anaphase c. Telophase d. Interphase
17. The chromosomes align at the cell's equator during metaphase, with the fibers of the mitotic spindle.
a. Cytokinesis b. Metaphase c. Telophase d. Prophase
18. Each chromosome has already duplicated during interphase, so at this point, the two copies separate.
a. Cytokinesis b. Metaphase c. Telophase d. Prophase
19. The chromosomes start to decondense, exposing the DNA and initiating the processes characteristic of an
independent cell.
a. Cytokinesis b. Metaphase c. Telophase d. Anaphase
