What is the primary purpose of mitosis in multicellular organisms? * 1 point a) To produce gametes b) To create genetic diversity c) To grow and replace cells d) To reduce chromosome number Why is the precise replication and division of chromosomes during mitosis essential? * 1 point a) To create genetically diverse offspring b) To reduce the number of chromosomes in each cell c) To ensure each new cell has a complete set of genetic information d) To eliminate damaged or mutated genes Which of the following is NOT a result of mitosis? * 1 point a) Tissue repair b) Asexual reproduction c) Embryonic development d) Formation of sex cells Why is mitosis crucial for wound healing? * 1 point a) It produces antibodies b) It generates new skin cells c) It reduces inflammation d) It destroys damaged cells How does mitosis contribute to the growth of an organism? * 1 point a) By increasing cell size b) By producing genetically diverse cells c) By creating more cells with identical genetic material d) By fusing cells together If all cells receive the full compliment of DNA in Mitosis, why do we have different types of cells? * 1 point The cells mutated The cells go through different genetic expressions Cell differentiation produces cells with different DNA Cell differentiation only occurs after a wound In which of the following scenarios is mitosis NOT important? * 1 point a) A tree growing taller b) A lizard regenerating its tail c) A human embryo developing d) A butterfly laying eggs Which of the following best describes the primary outcome of cell differentiation? * 1 point A) Rapid increase in cell number B) Specialization of cells for specific functions C) Equal distribution of genetic material D) Formation of identical daughter cells During mitosis, cell proliferation results in: * 1 point A) Cells becoming more specialized B) A decrease in the total number of cells C) An increase in the total number of cells D) Cells losing their ability to divide
