Humans typically have 46 chromosomes in each somatic cell. Therefore, the correct response is:

46

Which of the following statements is correct?(1 point)
Responses

Prokaryotic cells contain a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus.
Prokaryotic cells contain a nucleus, while eukaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus.

Eukaryotic cells do not have ribosomes but prokaryotic cells do have ribosomes.
Eukaryotic cells do not have ribosomes but prokaryotic cells do have ribosomes.

Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles, whereas eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles.
Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles, whereas eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles.

Eukaryotic cells are generally smaller than prokaryotic cells.

The correct statement is:

Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles, whereas eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles.

Why do mature cells look different from each other?(1 point)
Responses

They contain different organelles.
They contain different organelles.

They are found in different organisms.
They are found in different organisms.

They have different amounts of DNA.
They have different amounts of DNA.

They express different genes.

The correct response is:

They express different genes.

Different gene expression leads to variations in the structure and function of mature cells, resulting in their distinct appearances.

What part of a cell is duplicated during mitosis?(1 point)
Responses

Chromosomes
Chromosomes

Ribosome

Cell Membrane

Cytoplasm

The correct response is:

Chromosomes

During mitosis, the chromosomes are duplicated and then evenly divided between the two daughter cells.

Arrange the following stages of cell division in the correct order.

If you think the stages are already correct, you must drag one out of order and back into the correct location.

Question 6

To accurately arrange the stages of cell division (mitosis) in the correct order, the typical stages are as follows:

  1. Prophase
  2. Metaphase
  3. Anaphase
  4. Telophase
  5. Cytokinesis

Please arrange your provided responses according to this order. If you need assistance with specific responses you have, feel free to share them!

where would interphase go?

Interphase is the stage that occurs before mitosis begins. It is not part of mitosis itself but is essential for preparing the cell for division. The stages of interphase can be divided into three phases:

  1. G1 phase (Gap 1): The cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for cell division.
  2. S phase (Synthesis): The cell's DNA is replicated.
  3. G2 phase (Gap 2): The cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis.

So, if you're listing the stages of cell division and including interphase, the correct order would start with interphase, followed by the stages of mitosis:

  1. Interphase
    • G1 phase
    • S phase
    • G2 phase
  2. Prophase
  3. Metaphase
  4. Anaphase
  5. Telophase
  6. Cytokinesis

Interphase comes before prophase in the overall cell cycle.
