1

In cell biology, where does DNA replication take place?

64% Answer Correctly

cytoplasm

mitochondria

nucleus

Golgi apparatus


Solution

The cell nucleus contains the genetic material of the cell and is where DNA replication takes place.


2

Neurons are part of the __________ nervous system.

42% Answer Correctly

3

During continental drift, the drifting plates move across which of the following?

50% Answer Correctly

water

sediment

liquid mantle

fault lines


Solution

The crust and the rigid lithosphere (upper mantle) is made up of approximately thirty separate plates. These plates more very slowly on the slightly more liquid mantle (asthenosphere) beneath them. This movement has resulted in continental drift which is the gradual movement of land masses across Earth's surface. Continental drift is a very slow process, occurring over hundreds of millions of years.

5

Which of these is not a phase in cell division?

62% Answer Correctly

megaphase

cytokinesis

anaphase


Solution

Cell division is the process by which cells replicate genetic material in the nucleus and consists of several phases, beginning with interphase and ending with cytokinesis.
