CELL CYCLE AND CELL DIVISION

Every day, every hour, every second one of the most important events in life is going on in
your body—cells are dividing. When cells divide, they make new cells. A single cell divides to
make two cells and these two cells then divide to make four cells, and so on. We call this
process "cell division" and "cell reproduction," because new cells are formed when old cells
divide. The ability of cells to divide is unique for living organisms.

1. The sister chromatids are aligned by the pushing and pulling of the attached
kinetochore microtubules, similar to a game of "tug of war" in-
A. Prophase
B. Metaphase
C. Anaphase
D. Telophase

2. The centrioles are now at opposites poles of the cell with the spindles
extending from them. The chromosome pairs line up next to each other
along the centre (equator) of the cell in-
A. Metaphase of mitosis
B. Metaphase I of meiosis
C. Metaphase II of meiosis
D. None of these
3. Sperm formation in Male honeybees takes place through-
A. Mitosis
B. Meiosis
C. Amitosis
D. Parthenogenesis
4. The genetic material of parents cells divides equally in daughter cells during-
A. Mitosis
B. Meiosis
C. Both A and B
D. None of these
5. I. Gamete formation in some individuals takes place through mitosis.
II. Sexual reproduction is always interlinked with meiosis.
A. Both A and B are correct
B. Both A and B are incorrect
C. A is correct and B is incorrect
D. A Is incorrect but B is Correct
6. Sometimes you accidentally bite your lip or skin your knee, but in a matter of days the
wound heals due to-
A. Mitosis
B. Meiosis
C. Amitosis
D. None of these
7.  It is also important for cells to stop dividing at the right time.  If a cell can not stop
dividing when it is supposed to stop, this can lead to--------------.
