Question 10 2 Points
Cells resulting from mitotic division are often described as being clones. What does this mean?
They are genetically identical to the original cell.
Question 11 1 Point
Select up to 4 options
Duplicated chromosomes (choose all that apply)
Selectedconsist of two (sister) chromatid.
Selectedhave an area called the centromere where sister chromatid are attached to one another.
consist of two homologous chromosomes.
Selectedoccur in a cell after DNA replication.

Selectedchromosomes
enzymes
nucleoli
centrioles

associated questions from Exercise 3 (page 8) in the background and procedures.

Question 14 1 Point
Folic acid (one of the B vitamins) is necessary for the normal incorporation of thymine (a major component of
DNA) into DNA. Why are neural tube and brain defects often seen in the babies of women who do not get enough
folic acid in their diets during pregnancy? (Hint: Think about the events of the cell cycle and the rapid growth and
development occurring in embryonic development.)
During pregnancy the baby requires a lot of cells to grow a brain and a spine. Folic acid helps make thymine,
and this helps the baby to copy their DNA so that the brain and spine can grow in a normal manner.
Question 15 2 Points
The following diagram shows animal cells in different phases of the cell cycle and mitosis. Label each cell with the
appropriate phase. (Hint: A nucleus with dashed lines indicate that the individual chromosomes are not visible.)
Match the numbered cell with its phase of the cell cycle (phases may be used more than once)
