1.	Which stage of the mitotic cell cycle can be thought of in some ways as the opposite of prophase? -> Anaphase True False
2.	A cell has 5 chromosomes in G₁. How many chromosomes will the cell have after it has finished mitosis but before cytokinesis? -> 20 True False
3.	S phase is -> the phase of the cell cycle where two identical daughter cells are created True False
4.	The microtubule organizing center of the mitotic spindle is called the -> centrosome True False
5.	Which the following best describes the idea of a cell cycle checkpoint? -> A domino-like series of events, with each event requiring completion by the previous event True False
6.	Cancer is -> a disease caused when a cell in the body acquires a genetic change that gives it a selective advantage for growth and reproduction over other cells in the body True False
7.	Which of the following aspects of mitosis are good examples of important structures/structural changes that ensure accurate chromosome segregation in human cells? -> All of the above True False
8.	In which of the following ways are mitosis and meiosis the same? -> Sister chromatids are not paired in either mitosis or meiosis. True False
9.	In what stage of the cell cycle do chromosomes become rod-like structures and does the nuclear envelope break down? -> A part of interphase True False
10.	If a G₁ cell is fused to a cell in S phase, what will happen? -> Some signaling protein in the S phase cell will trigger S phase in the G₁ cell. True False
