Here are the answers to your questions based on the provided information:
Question 2
Which statement is NOT accurate in detailing how Mitosis plays a role?
Answer: DNA is duplicated into 4 daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes.
Explanation: Mitosis results in 2 daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell, not 4.
Question 3
Use this diagram to match the cell cycle phase with the best answer.
Answer: G1 + S + G2 = Cell Growth
Explanation: G1, S, and G2 are all phases of the cell cycle related to cell growth and preparation for mitosis.
Question 4
What is the significance of the G1 phase in the cell cycle?
Answer: It is a period of cell growth and normal function.
Explanation: G1 phase is primarily focused on cell growth and normal metabolic functions.
Question 5
Based on your observations, how many cells are in anaphase?
Answer: This question cannot be answered without additional context or a diagram showing the cells in different stages.
Question 6
Which phase of mitosis is characterized by the alignment of chromosomes at the cell's equatorial plane?
Answer: Metaphase
Explanation: In metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.
Question 7
Which process allows a mammal to continue to grow in size?
Answer: mitosis of somatic cells
Explanation: Mitosis of somatic cells leads to growth and tissue repair in mammals.
Question 8
Which type of cell is shown in the figure?
Answer: This question cannot be answered without additional context or a figure showing the cells.
Question 9
How is cell differentiation different than mitosis?
Answer: Cell differentiation produces cells with different gene expressions.
Explanation: Differentiation results in cells that have specialized functions and characteristics, unlike simple cell division.
Question 10
What is the importance of microtubules in cell division?
Answer: They organize and pull apart the chromosomes.
Explanation: Microtubules are essential for the proper segregation of chromosomes during mitosis.
Question 11
Which title would be most appropriate for this photomicrograph?
Answer: Mitosis in an Onion Root Tip
Explanation: Onion root tips are commonly used to observe mitosis due to their rapid cell division.
Question 12
Which phase are these cells most likely in?
Answer: S phase
Explanation: The S phase is when DNA is replicated, leading to cells containing double the normal amount of DNA.
Question 13
From the list below, embryonic stem cells would be the best option for healing the widest variety of diseases.
Answer: True
Explanation: Embryonic stem cells have greater potential for differentiation compared to other stem cells.
Question 14
A researcher wants to design a drug that targets rapidly dividing cancer cells by disrupting spindle fiber formation. Which phase of mitosis would the drug affect first?
Answer: Metaphase; the chromosomes would fail to align at the equator.
Explanation: Disruption of spindle fibers would prevent alignment in metaphase.
Question 15
Mitosis is NOT described as:
Answer: taking one cell and replicating it into two genetically unique cells.
Explanation: Mitosis produces genetically identical cells, not unique ones.
Question 16
What do the cells in area X most likely represent?
Answer: cancer cells
Explanation: If there is evidence of abnormal growth or characteristics, they may represent cancer cells.
Question 17
Which statement is NOT correct when comparing mitochondria with the nucleus?
Answer: Mitochondria need to keep some DNA to replicate independently of the cell to provide energy for the cell division process.
Explanation: Mitochondrial DNA is important for cellular functions, but they don't replicate just to provide energy for division.
Question 18
Which conclusion can be made from the observations of Species X and Y?
Answer: Only Species Y is anaerobic.
Explanation: Species X produces only CO2 and H2O, which suggests aerobic respiration, while Species Y produces alcohol and CO2, indicating anaerobic respiration.
Question 19
Order the steps of Protein Synthesis:
Answer:
- DNA strand unwinds between the base pairs
- Ribosome attaches to the mRNA
- tRNA attaches amino acids to the mRNA strand
- Amino acids are linked together with peptide bonds
Question 20
In what way do the products of photosynthesis serve as reactants in cellular respiration?
Answer: Oxygen and glucose are consumed during cellular respiration.
Explanation: Cellular respiration uses oxygen and glucose, which are the products of photosynthesis.
Question 21
Read each description and decide if it is active or passive transport.
Active transport or Passive transport based on provided descriptions must be assessed contextually for accuracy.
Question 22
Match the cell organelles to their functions:
- Endoplasmic Reticulum → synthesis, folding and transport of protein
- Golgi Apparatus → packages and transports proteins in the cell
- Mitochondria → creates energy for the cell as part of cellular respiration
- Ribosomes → decodes the sequence of bases on the mRNA and creates specific protein
- Nucleus → stores genetic material a cell needs to function
Question 23
What distinguishes prokaryotic cells from eukaryotic cells?
Answer: Presence of membrane-bound organelles.
Explanation: Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells do not.
Question 24
Which of the following is a correct pairing of a macromolecule with its monomer?
Answer: Carbohydrate - Monosaccharide
Explanation: Carbohydrates are made up of monosaccharides.
Question 25
Which of the following is NOT a function of proteins?
Answer: Repair damage
Explanation: While proteins may play a role in repair, it's not their primary function compared to enzymatic activity or structural support.
Question 26
In a portion of a gene, the nitrogenous base sequence is T-C-G-A-A-T. Which nitrogenous base sequence would normally be found bonded to this section of the gene?
Answer: A-G-C-T-T-A.
Explanation: The sequence complements: A to T, C to G.
Question 27
How does cytokinesis differ from mitosis?
Answer: Cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm, while mitosis divides the nucleus.
Explanation: Mitosis involves the separation of genetic material, while cytokinesis involves the physical division of the cytoplasm.
