Example cell division practice questions

In which phase of mitosis do sister chromatids line up along the metaphase plate?Metaphase. Spindle fibers attach to kinetochores and align the chromosomes at the cell's center before they separate.

True or false: meiosis produces four genetically identical daughter cells.False. Meiosis produces four haploid cells that differ genetically because of crossing over and independent assortment.

How many chromosomes does a human gamete contain compared with a somatic cell?Half as many, 23 versus 46. Meiosis halves the chromosome number so that fertilization restores the diploid count.

What is the purpose of crossing over during prophase I of meiosis?It exchanges DNA segments between homologous chromosomes, creating new allele combinations that add genetic variation.

Which cell cycle checkpoint decides whether a cell proceeds into mitosis?The G2/M checkpoint. It checks DNA replication and damage before the cell commits to division.

Generate the full set

Three question types

Get multiple-choice, true/false, and short-answer questions from the same source, so you can test recall and application.

Explanations on every answer

Each question shows the correct answer and a short reason, so wrong answers become learning moments instead of guesses.

Works from your own material

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or images of pages. Questions come from what your class actually covered.

How it works

Upload your material

Add lecture slides, a chapter PDF, typed notes, or a photo of a handout.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple-choice, true/false, or short answer, then generate the set.

Practice and review

Work through the questions in your browser, check the explanations, and repeat the weak spots.

Each question comes with an explanation, which matters more than the score. Reading why an option is wrong shows where your understanding breaks down, and that is where your next study session should start.

Free accounts can generate three sets per month and study them in the browser. Paid plans add unlimited generations and export options for sharing or importing into other tools.

Frequently asked questions

How many practice questions should I make before an exam on cell division?

Start with a set of 10 to 15 questions covering one topic, such as the phases of mitosis, and test yourself again after a day. Mix question types so you practice recognizing terms and explaining processes.

What is the main difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid daughter cells for growth and repair. Meiosis produces four haploid gametes with genetic variation from crossing over and independent assortment.

Can I export my practice tests?

The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports. Plus adds PDF and DOCX export along with Anki and CSV, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No, you can start without entering a credit card. Students get 40% off paid plans with a school email address.
