Quiz:

Cell cycle and mitosis

This quiz will assess your understanding of the genetic material, cell cycle and mitosis.

Q1.How many chromosomes are present in one human skin cell?

13 23 46 92

Q2.Why is mitosis important? Tick two boxes.

Select two (2) boxes

It is for growth. It is for repair. It is for slowing down aging. It is for reprouction.

Q3.What is the difference between a gene and the DNA?

A gene is a double helix but DNA is straight. A gene is much longer than the DNA. A gene is much shorter than the DNA. A gene is less important than the DNA

Q4.In mitosis, how much DNA would the daughter cells contain?

Triple the amount of chromosomes of the mother cell. Twice the amount of chromosomes of the mother cell. Same amount of chromosomes than the mother cell. Half the amount of chromosomes of the mother cell.
