6 Questions
A human cell must duplicate about 6.5 feet of DNA and separate the two copies so that each daughter cell ends up with a complete genome.
True
The first sign of cleavage is the appearance of a cleavage furrow in the cell surface near the old metaphase plate.
True
Cell division is an integral part of the mitotic spindle, the life of a cell from its origin in the division of a parent cell until its own division into two daughter cells.
False
During telophase, vesicles from the Golgi apparatus move to the middle of the cell, where they fuse with each other to form a cell plate.
True
The mitotic spindle is composed of centrosomes and the microtubules that extend from them.
True
Gene and chromosome are terms that can be used interchangeably.
False
Study Notes
Cell Cycle and Division
- Cell division is an integral part of the cell cycle, which is the life of a cell from its origin in the division of a parent cell until its own division into two daughter cells.
Genome and DNA Replication
- A human cell must duplicate about 6.5 feet of DNA and separate the two copies so that each daughter cell ends up with a complete genome.
Mitotic Spindle Formation
- The mitotic spindle begins to form during cell division, composed of centrosomes and the microtubules that extend from them.
Cleavage and Cell Plate
- The first sign of cleavage is the appearance of a cleavage furrow in the cell surface near the old metaphase plate.
