QUIZ no. 4 Cell Division
Cancer cells require lots of nutrients, which are
1. Which is NOT true about bacterial
chromosomes?
A. There is generally only one chromosome in
each bacterial cell.
B. A bacterial chromosome is present in a single
copy per cell.
C. A bacterial chromosome is attached to the
plasma membrane.
D. A bacterial chromosome is in a loop.
E. A bacterial chromosome contains both DNA
and associated histones.
2. The haploid (n) number of chromosomes for
humans is
A. 23.
B. 24.
C. 44.
D. 46.
E. 48.
3.Generally, complex organisms do require more
genes to control their synthesis and organization
than do primitive organisms. However, the numbers
of chromosomes vary from ants with 2, molds
with 8-14, humans with 46, potatoes with 100 and
the crayfish with 200! And some birds and insects
have chromosomes that dwindle in size into
obscurity, so it is not possible to establish a diploid
number. Given this, then
A. there must be no relationship between
amount of genetic information and complexity of the
organism.
B. the number of genes per chromosome
may vary among organisms, preventing a simple
relationship between chromosome number and
complexity.
C. birds and insects probably cannot follow the
same mitotic laws as other organisms.
D. All of the choices are correct.
4.
supplied by blood vessels. The growth of new
blood vessels to cancerous tissue is called:
A. angiogenesis
B. metastasis
C. carcinogenesis
D. apotosis
5. The speed of binary fission used by bacteria
(such as Escherichia coli that live in our intestine)
is
A. considerably slower than mitosis of
advanced organisms since bacteria are so
primitive.
B. considerably faster than mitosis of advanced
organisms.
C. essentially the same speed as mitosis in
advanced organisms since the need to build DNA and
new cell components is the same in both organisms.
6.Which is NOT true about the chromosomes of a
multicellular organism?
A. They are made up of DNA and protein.
B. Each chromosome is replicated into two
chromatids during the S phase of interphase.
C. Each chromosome separates into two
daughter chromosomes by binary fission.
D. All cells contain chromosomes that carry
the same genetic information.
7.Which statement is NOT true about mitosis?
A. Mitosis is a process that duplicates and
divides the nuclear contents only.
B. Mitosis produces two daughter cells that
contain the same number of chromosomes as the
parent cell.
C. Mitosis produces two daughter cells that
contain the same kinds of chromosomes as the
parent cell.
D. Mitosis uses a 2n parent cell to form
daughter cells containing n chromosomes.
E. Mitosis is involved in development of a
fertilized egg into a multicellular organism.

8.Virtually all specialized cells of multicellular
organisms
A. develop through mutation from less
specialized cells of the organism.
B. contain more genetic material than less
specialized cells of the same organism.
C. contain less genetic material than less
specialized cells of the same organism.
sex are formed with a haploid number of
chromosomes. This would mean that
A. a single set of chromosomes is sufficient
to code for a functional individual.
B. a female could determine the sex of the
offspring by fertilizing or not fertilizing an egg.
C. the males and females are not equally
"related" to their mothers considering the proportion of
genes held in common.

D. have the same amount of DNA and the D. All of the choices are true.
same number of chromosomes as all other cells
of the organism. E. this system in no way differs from regular
diploid organisms.
9.The term built from the Greek root words
meaning "twofold" and "like" is 13.The term built from the Greek root words
meaning "central" and "part" is
A. haploid.
A. eukaryote.
B. diploid.
B. chromosome.
C. chromatin.
C. chromatin.
D. cytokinesis.
D. cytokinesis.
E. centromere.
E. centromere.
10.Which of the following is NOT true concerning
mitosis? 14.Which represents the correct sequence of
stages in the cell cycle?
A. Plant cells lack centrioles while animal cells
do not. A. G1, G2, S, M

B. Both plant and animal cells undergo B. G1, G2, M, S

cytokinesis.
C. G1, M, G2, S
C. Mitosis allows growth and increase in size in
both plants and animals. D. G1, S, G2, M

D. Animal cells form a cell plate during
cytokinesis while plant cells do not.
11.The term "nucleoid" is built from the Latin and
Greek root word meaning
15.Another word that has the same meaning as
the word mitosis and refers to division of the
nucleus is:
A. cytokinesis

A. "center" and "outside." B. anaphase

B. "kernel-like." C. apotosis

C. "true-center." D. karyokinesis

D. "master control." 16. Which statement is NOT true about eukaryotic

chromosomes?
E. "control protein."
A. There is only one chromosome of each
12. Generally, animals build an organism using type in each body cell.
the diploid number of chromosomes. However,
insects in the order of ants, wasps and bees can B. Chromosomes contain both DNA and
use a haploid-diploid system where adults of one associated histones.
 C. Chromosomes condense from chromatin at
the start of mitosis.

D. Chromosomes disperse back into chromatin

at the end of mitosis.

E. Chromosomes are not located within the

nuclear envelope during mitosis.
