Sample Questions

1multiple correct

Which phases are included in interphase?

Show answer

G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase

Interphase consists of three phases: G1 phase (growth and protein synthesis), S phase (DNA replication), and G2 phase (preparation for division). M phase and prophase are part of the division phase.

2multiple correct

Which of the following are functions of mitosis?

Show answer

Growth, Repair, Reproduction in unicellular organisms

Mitosis functions in growth of organisms, repair of tissues, reproduction in unicellular organisms, regeneration, and replacement of old cells. Gamete formation and genetic variation are functions of meiosis.

3multiple choice

Which is the longest phase of mitosis?

Show answer

Prophase

Prophase is the longest phase of mitosis. During this phase, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, the nuclear membrane breaks down, and the spindle apparatus forms.

4multiple choice

During which phase of mitosis do chromosomes align at the equator?

Show answer
