HESI A2 test Biology- Cellular Reproduction Mitosis

Which of the following statements is CORRECT about daughter cells formed during mitotic cell division?

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells to their parent cell.

Which of the following correctly differentiates diploid cells from haploid cells?

There are (2n) number of chromosomes in diploid cells and (n) number of chromosomes in haploid cells.

The process of asexual reproduction when a prokaryotic cell divides to form two identical cells where each has the potential to grow and become an independent cell is called:

Binary fission

The process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells is known as:

Mitosis

Which of the following lists the phases of mitosis in the correct order?

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Humans have 46 chromosomes in each somatic cell. How many chromosomes will be there in each daughter cell that has been formed after mitosis?

46

Which of the following is NOT the function of mitosis?

Production of germ cells from diploid cells

Which of the following images shows the prophase of mitosis?

Which of the following is correct about sister chromatids?

Sister chromatids are the two identical copies of a chromosome.

Which of the following statements best describes what happens during prophase?

The nucleolus shrinks and disappears

Which of the following phases of mitosis is shown below? 

Prometaphase

The filaments or thread-like structures that form mitotic spindles and are involved in chromosomal segregation are called:

Spindle fibers

The phase in which the mitotic spindle grows and some of the microtubules start to attach to chromosomes is known as:

Prometaphase

Select the image that represents metaphase.

Which of the following is the characteristic of metaphase?

Metaphase plate formation

Which phase of mitosis is shown below?

Anaphase

“Sister chromatids separate from each other and move towards the opposite poles of the cell.”

 

The above statement best describes which of the following phases of the mitotic cell cycle?

Anaphase

Cytokinesis begins at which phase of the cell cycle?

Anaphase

The image below shows which phase of mitosis?

Telophase

The image below shows which phase of cell division?

Cytokinesis
