Chapter 2 Unit 2.5 Worksheet

This document contains a worksheet on mitosis and the cell cycle with multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, labeling, and sequencing questions. It covers the key phases of interphase and mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis), the events that occur during each phase such as DNA replication and chromosome separation, and the importance of mitosis in multicellular organisms. The student is asked to identify phases, structures, order diagrams, and distinguish between interphase and mitosis.

Unit 2.5: The Cell Cycle & Mitosis
Part A

1. Chromosome move to the middle of the spindle during what phase? ________________
2. What are sister chromatids? When do they separate?
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
3. During which phase do chromosomes first become visible? ________________________
4. In multicellular organisms, the cell cycle produces groups of cells that perform the same
function. What are these groups of cells called? _________________________________

Complete the table by checking the correct column for each statement.
Statement Interphase Mitosis
1. Cell growth occurs
2. Nuclear division occurs
3. Chromosomes are distributed equally to daughter cells
4. Protein production is high
5. Chromosomes are duplicated
6. DNA synthesis occurs
7. Cytoplasm divides immediately after this period
8. Mitochondria and other organelles are made
Part B
The following are not in the correct order. Please answer the questions below.

1. Which cell is in metaphase? _________________________________________________


2. Cells A and F show an early and late stage of the same phase of mitosis. What phase is
it? _____________________________________________________________________
3. In cell A, what is the structure labelled X? _____________________________________
4. In cell F, what is the structure labelled Y? ______________________________________
5. Which cell is not in a phase of mitosis? ________________________________________
6. What two main changes are taking place in cell B? _______________________________
7. Sequence the six diagrams in order from first to last. _____________________________
8. What is the end product of mitosis? __________________________________________
9. What is the main difference between cytokinesis in plants and animals?
________________________________________________________________________
10. Why is mitosis important?
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________

Identify the following phases of mitosis. Use these choices: telophase, metaphase, anaphase,
prophase. Then label the diagrams. Use these choices: sister chromatids, centromere, spindle
fibers, centrioles
