2. Calculate the total magnification if ocular (eyepiece) magnification is 10x and the objective power is 50x.
3. Circle the correct answer that accurately describes a characteristic of Eukaryotic cells.
Cell size: Small Relatively Large
Nucleus: Has nuclear envelope No nuclear membrane
DNA: More than 1 long, linear Single circular chromosome
Organelles: None Many membrane bound organelles
Cell division: Fission or budding Mitosis or meiosis
4. Name two differences between Animal and Plant cells.
5. True or False: Mitosis is the process by which a eukaryotic cell separates the chromosomes in its cell nucleus into two identical sets, in two separate nuclei.
6. True or False: Meiosis results in daughter nuclei containing only ½ the number of chromosomes as the the parent nucleus.
7. Order the phases of Mitosis using the numbers 1-4.
