Cytokinesis describes the movement of chromosomes. e. Both the animal cell furrow and the plant cell plate form at their former spindle midpoint.

The individual chromosomes become visible with a light microscope during which stage of mitosis? a. prophase b. prometaphase c. metaphase d. anaphase
In the mitosis experiment, in what stage were most of the onion root tip cells in? Based on what you know about cell cycle division, what does this imply about the life span of a cell? Were there any stages of the cell cycle that you did not observe? How can you explain this using evidence from the cell cycle?
Prophase is the stage of mitosis characterized by the a. physical seperation of sister chromatids b. appearance of visible chromosomes c. occurrence of cytokinesis d. alignment of chromosomes at center of cell
You discover a substance that prevents the motor protein in a centromere from attaching to a spindle fiber. What would be a consequence of adding this substance to a cell during mitosis? Group of answer choices A) the chromatin would not coil up to form condensed chromosomes B) the nuclear membrane would not break down C) sister chromatids would not form D) sister chromatids would fail to separate
The mitotic spindle plays a critical role in which of the following processes? a) dissolving the nuclear membrane b) triggering the compaction and condensation of chromosomes c) splitting of the cell (cytokinesis) following mitosis d) separation of sister chromatids
The drug colchicine prevents the spindles microtubules from forming or growing. What would happen in mitosis to a cell that was given colchicine throughout mitosis? A. The chromosomes would not condense B. The nuclear envelope would not dissolve C. The chromosomes would not line up for metaphase D. The chromosomes would line up for metaphase but would not pull apart in anaphase.
Which of the following statements correctly identifies the difference between plant and animal cell division? Select one: a. The cell walls of plants prevent the process of cytokinesis. b. Plants cells lack centrioles, and they form a cell plate during cytokinesis. c. Both plant and animal cells undergo mitosis and cytokinesis, but they lack the interphase. d. Plant cells lack centromeres, and they form a cell wall to produce two daughter cells.
In mitosis, chromosomes separate by which specific mechanism? A. chromosomes sprout flagella and begin to swim towards the ends of the cell B. molecular motors in the kinetochore move the chromosome toward the centrioles C. centrioles attract the chromosomes by electromagnetic attraction D. centrioles begin to shorten microtubules by degrading them
The image below is of a stained onion root tip. Determine the phase of mitosis that each cell below is in, and record that below. Look closely - cells that are clearly stained are numbered in the image below. Use those numbers when assigning the phase of mitosis for each cell. Using the same onion root tip image and data from the question above, which phase are the majority of cells in? Make a conclusion about what this means about the length of each phase of the cell cycle.
A scientist studying a group of somatic cells notices that when the cell cycle is complete, half of the daughter cells have no chromosomes and the other half have 92 chromosomes. In what phase of mitosis did an error most likely occur? Explain.
In which two phases of mitosis would you find a nuclear membrane (or at least fragments of it)? Group of answer choices A. prophase & telophase B. prophase & anaphase C. telophase & anaphase D. prophase & metaphase E. metaphase & anaphase
You add a chemical to five samples of cells and have another five samples of cells to which you do not add the chemical. You wait 10 minutes and then stain all ten samples of cells and observe if they have entered mitosis or not? What is the dependent variable? Group of answer choices A) If the cells entered mitosis or not B) The number of samples of the cells C) The length of time before stainingg D) If the cells are treated with the chemical or not
