Question

1. if a fruit fly has 8 chromosomes in each of its body cells, how many chromosomes will be in each daughter - cell after mitosis? a 2 b 4 c 8 d 16 12. if a human has 46 chromosomes in each of its body cells, how many chromosomes will be in each body cell after mitosis? a 23 b 46 c 92 d 0 13. the final stage of cellular division involves the separation of the two nuclei along with the cytoplasm into two new daughter cells. this process is known as - a cytokinesis b respiration c meiosis d active transport 14. prokaryotes undergo a process of cell division similar to eukaryotes called - a respiration b transformation c chemosynthesis d binary fission 15. certain cells in the body, including some nerve cells, never undergo cellular division once a person is fully grown. these cells enter a resting phase known as - a m phase b g_1 c g_0 d s 16. which of the following sets of stages only contains stages of the cell cycle that are part of interphase? a m, g_1, g_2 b g_1, s, g_2 c g_0, m, s d g_2, g_0, prophase 17. the reason that children grow and get larger as they mature is because - a small cells combine into super - cells b cells gain mass as they mutate c each cell keeps increasing its volume d their cells are dividing and multiplying 18. if a potato plant has 48 chromosomes in each of its cells, how many chromosomes will be in each daughter cell after mitosis? a 24 b 48 c 96 d 142 19. the process of mitosis occurs in eukaryotic cells so that - a animal cells produce chloroplasts b daughter cells are genetically identical c positive mutations can be encouraged d cytoplasm can be conserved to parent cells 20. the reason that prokaryotes do not undergo the process of mitosis is because unlike eukaryotes, prokaryotes do not have - a a membrane - bound nucleus b ribosomes for protein synthesis c genetic material in the form of dna d the ability to reproduce

Explanation:

1. Mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two daughter - cells having the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. A fruit fly has 8 chromosomes in each body cell, so after mitosis, each daughter cell will also have 8 chromosomes.
2. Similarly, a human has 46 chromosomes in each body cell. After mitosis, the number of chromosomes in each body cell remains 46 as mitosis produces genetically identical daughter cells with the same chromosome number as the parent cell.
3. The final stage of cell division that involves the separation of the two nuclei along with the cytoplasm into two new daughter cells is called cytokinesis.
4. Prokaryotes undergo a process of cell division similar to eukaryotes called binary fission.
5. Certain cells in the body, including some nerve cells, enter a resting phase known as $G_0$ once a person is fully grown and never undergo cell division again.
6. The stages of the cell - cycle that are part of interphase are $G_1$, S, and $G_2$.
7. Children grow and get larger as they mature because their cells are dividing and multiplying.
8. A potato plant has 48 chromosomes in each of its cells. After mitosis, each daughter cell will have 48 chromosomes as mitosis conserves the chromosome number.
9. The process of mitosis occurs in eukaryotic cells so that daughter cells are genetically identical.
10. Prokaryotes do not undergo the process of mitosis because, unlike eukaryotes, prokaryotes do not have a membrane - bound nucleus.
