Chapter 8, Problem 3MCQ
Which of the following explains why binary fission can occur without a spindle like that found in mitotic cells?
| a. | The cell is small, so there is less material to divide. |
| b. | There is only one chromosome, and it attaches to the membrane. |
| c. | The prokaryotic DNA does not need to replicate. |
| d. | The DNA is transferred through the sex pilus. |

A student claims that interphase is the longest stage of the cell cycle. Another student claims that mitosis is the longest stage. Using evidence from the photo, determine which student is correct and why A)mitosis is the longest stage because anaphase requires more time to separate chromatids B) interphase is the longest stage because chromosomes are visible in the majority of the cells C) mitosis is the longest stage because the majority of the cells in the photo are replicating their dna D) interphase is the longest stage because the majority of the cells in the photo have uncondensed chromatin and are not dividingarrow_forward
