Amitosis is also known as:
Indirect cell division
Reduction division
Direct cell division
Equational division
Amitosis is characterized by:
Formation of a cell plate
Spindle fiber attachment to kinetochores
Direct division of the nucleus
Equal distribution of genetic material through complex mechanisms
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic feature observed during amitosis?
Division of cytoplasm
Constriction of the nucleus
Appearance of chromosomes
Division of the nucleolus (sometimes)
One potential disadvantage of amitosis compared to mitosis is:
Slower cell division rate
Increased energy expenditure
Increased risk of unequal distribution of genetic material
Formation of a complex spindle apparatus
During amitosis, the nucleus divides by:
Forming a cell plate
Constriction
Spindle fiber attachment
Fragmentation
Amitosis is sometimes associated with:
Rapidly dividing embryonic cells
Cells undergoing meiosis
Aging or diseased cells
Cells actively involved in tissue repair
Amitosis typically results in:
Genetically identical daughter cells
Genetically different daughter cells
Four daughter cells
Cells with half the amount of DNA
Which statement BEST differentiates amitosis from other forms of nuclear division like mitosis and meiosis?
Amitosis involves DNA replication, while mitosis and meiosis do not.
Amitosis produces genetically identical daughter cells, while mitosis and meiosis produce genetically diverse cells.
Amitosis occurs in somatic cells, while mitosis and meiosis occur in germ cells.
Amitosis lacks chromosome condensation and spindle formation, unlike mitosis and meiosis.
The genetic material distribution in daughter cells produced by amitosis, compared to the parent cell, is generally:
Exactly identical
Significantly different
Randomly distributed with no predictable pattern
Approximately equal but not necessarily identical
In which of the following organisms is amitosis MOST commonly observed?
Higher plants and animals
Fungi and algae
Prokaryotes and some lower eukaryotes
