Question 1

Which of the following is the correct sequence of steps in eukaryotic cell replication?

Accepted Answer

Copying the DNA, separating the copies, dividing the cytoplasm

Question 2

Why is the process of cell replication essential for life on Earth?

Accepted Answer

It ensures the continuity of life by producing new cells.

Question 3

Which of the following best describes the role of DNA during cell replication?

Accepted Answer

DNA is copied to ensure each new cell receives genetic information.

Question 4

A scientist observes a eukaryotic cell undergoing replication. Which event would indicate the cell is in the final stage of replication?

Accepted Answer

The cytoplasm is dividing to form two cells.

Question 5

If a mutation prevents the separation of DNA copies during cell replication, what is the most likely outcome?

Accepted Answer

The resulting cells may have abnormal or incomplete genetic material.

Question 6

Which of the following equations best represents the outcome of one round of eukaryotic cell replication?

Accepted Answer

$1 \rightarrow 2$

Question 7

During which step of cell replication is the genetic material equally distributed to two daughter cells?

Accepted Answer

Separating the copies

Question 8

Which of the following real-life scenarios best illustrates the importance of accurate cell replication?

Accepted Answer

A cut on your skin healing over time

Question 9

If the cytoplasm does not divide after DNA replication and separation, what is the likely result?

Accepted Answer

One cell with two nuclei

Question 10

Which of the following statements about eukaryotic cell replication is correct?

Accepted Answer

It requires the copying and separation of DNA, followed by division of the cytoplasm.

Question 11

A researcher is studying a drug that inhibits the division of cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells. What effect would this drug most likely have?

Accepted Answer

Cells would have multiple nuclei within a single cytoplasm.

Question 12

Which process ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic instructions?

Accepted Answer

DNA replication and separation
