Resource summary

Question 1

Question
When does cell division occur?
Answer
  • Immediately before mitosis
  • Immediately after mitosis
  • During mitosis

Question 2

Question
Why does cytokinesis occur?
Answer
  • To ensure another round of cell division occurs
  • To ensure the chromosome number is restored in the daughter cell
  • To ensure the chromosome number remains the same from the parent and daughter cell

Question 3

Question
In what phase does the cytoplasm splits in two and a cleavage point appears in the cell?
Answer
  • During Anaphase
  • During Telophase
  • During Prophase

Question 4

Question
Cytokinesis occurs differently in plant and animal cells.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question
What is the term that describes cytokinesis in animal cells?
Answer
  • Cleavage
  • Splitting
  • Cytokinesis

Question 6

Question
What is the shallow groove called that appears in the cell along the equator ?
Answer
  • Cleavage Furrow
  • Shallow Furrow

Question 7

Question
What factors initiate cytokinesis ?
Answer
  • Myosin II

Question 8

Question
What process occurs in the cell causing the cleavage furrow to ingress?
Answer
  • Actin Polymerisation
  • ATP hydrolysis
  • Phosphorylation of Myosin

Question 9

Question
What restricts the cleavage furrow from forming in plant cells?
Answer
  • The rigid cell wall
  • The plant cell membrane
  • The plant cell nucleus

Question 10

Question
What cellular organelles line up in the equator of the plant cell and initiate cytokinesis?
Answer

Question 11

Question
What is contained within the vesicles to aid the formation of the daughter plant cells?
Answer
  • Cellulose
  • Sucrose
  • Chromosomes

Question 12

Question
What is the name of the structure the vesicles form in cytokinesis in plant cells?
Answer
  • Cell Plate
