Eukaryotic Cell Cycle Answers
8.1.1 The Eukaryotic cell cycle
1. If a cell is in a state in which it no longer divides then the cell is probably arrested at which stage of the cell cycle? A) G1
2. Interphase of the cell cycle lasts longer than mitosis? A) TRUE
- A cell spends about 90% of its life in interphase of the cell cycle, while it spends only about 10% of its life in M phase.

8.4.1 Independent Assortment
1. During anaphase I of meiosis A) Homologous chromosomes separate and migrate to opposite poles
2. Which statement regarding independent assortment is true? C) independent assortment is the result of the random orientation of homologous pairs of chromosomes along the metaphase plate
