Question

Write true if the statement is true or false if the statement is false. _____ 1. Cell division is basically the same in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
_____ 2. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.
_____ 3. Mitosis is the process in which the nucleus of the cell divides. _____ 4. DNA replication results in identical chromosomes.
_____ 5. A cell spends most of its life in growth phase 1 of

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. False

2. True

3. True

4. True

5. True

Explanation:

1. Prokaryotes do not possess nucleus in their cell which is present in eukaryotes, so prokaryotes divide by amitotic division whereas eukaryotes divide by both mitosis and meiosis.

2. Cytokinesis is the phase of the cell cycle during which the cytoplasmic content of a cell divides and takes place after nuclear division.

3. Mitosis is the phase of cell cycle which is marked by the division of the nucleus and nuclear contents so also known as karyokinesis.

4. DNA replication is the process which produces an exact copy of the parental genome thus produces identical chromosomes.

5. The longest phase of the cell cycle is the G₁ phase in which the cell remains for about 11 hours. During this period the cell prepares itself for DNA replication.
