Biology Chapter 9 Practice Test With Answers

The document is a biology practice test with questions about cell division, mitosis, meiosis, and related concepts. It includes: 1) Multiple choice and true/false questions about the stages of mitosis and meiosis, as well as cells types like haploid and diploid cells. 2) Questions asking to complete statements about chromosomes, genes, and cell cycle events. 3) Diagrams to label with terms like centromere, sister chromatid, and centriole. 4) Short answer questions about the number of cells resulting from mitosis vs meiosis, and why meiosis ensures offspring do not have more chromosomes than parents.

A. mitosis E. cancer
B. malignant tumor F. diploid cells
C. haploid cells G. sexual reproduction
D. gametes H. asexual reproduction

__C_ 1. meiosis results in the formation of these cells, containing both egg and sperm cells

__E_ 2. a disease in which some cells lose their ability to control their rate of division

__B_ 3. a mass of cancer cells

__D_ 4. produced by the process of meiosis

__H_ 5. reproduction by simple cell division only producing offspring identical to parents

_F__ 6. cells containing all chromosomes

__G_ 7. reproduction combining genetic material to produce offspring different from parents

__A_ 8. cell nucleus division in which chromosomes divide to form two identical cells use

True (T) or False (F)? If False, cross out part that is untrue and write it in the space under the statement.
S
__F_ 9. A cell’s DNA is replicated during the M phase of the cell cycle.

__T_ 10. Another word for chromosome is chromatid, which is an exact copy of the original
chromosome.

__T_ 11. The stage in which a cell divides is called the mitotic phase.
twice
__F_ 12. In meiosis, cellular division occurs three times.
different
_F_ 13. Meiosis usually results in the formation of four genetically identical cells.

__T_14. Plant and animal cells have many differences. One difference is that plant cells have
a cell plate.
tetrads
_F__ 15. Crossing-over rarely occurs in meiosis because homologous chromosomes rarely
form during mitosis.

__T_ 16. Chromosome number is not changed during mitosis.

__T_ 17. Two members of a pair are called homologous chromosomes.

21. Humans have 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes, giving them a total diploid number
of _46_ chromosomes.
