Which statement about binary fission is true? Binary fission takes place during M phase of the cell cycle. Binary fission refers to nuclear division, but not cytoplasmic division. Binary fission includes duplication of DNA but not division of the cell. Binary fission is the process by which prokaryotic cells, mitochondria, and chloroplasts divide. 2. Which event of the eukaryotic cell cycle takes place in interphase? Chromosome movement to opposite poles of the cell DNA synthesis Formation of cell walls in plant cells Attachment of the mitotic spindle to centromeres 3. Eukaryotic cells that never divide remain in S phase throughout their lives. are produced by a process other than mitotic cell division. remain in G 0 phase throughout their lives. move from G 1 to G 2 without DNA synthesis occurring. 4. The S phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle is the phase when the cell's DNA is copied. is the phase when new nuclear membranes are synthesized. is also called a gap phase. is the phase in which the new part of the cell wall is synthesized. 5. The mitotic spindle connects the kinetochores to chromatids. centromeres. chromatin masses. mitotic spindles. 6. Giraffes have 62 chromosomes. Immediately following the S phase of the cell cycle in a giraffe cell, there will be 31 centromeres. 62 centromeres. 124 centromeres. 248 centromeres
