Cell Cycle

Front

What phase of the cell cycle is responsible for DNA replication?

Back

S phase

Front

What is another term for the cell cycle?

Back

Cell Division

Front

List the stages of the cell cycle in the correct order: G1, S, G2, M.

Back

G1, S, G2, M

Front

What is the end result of the cell cycle?

Back

Two identical cells

Front

During which phase does the cell prepare for mitosis?

Back

G2 phase

Front

What is the main purpose of the G1 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

Cell growth and preparation for DNA synthesis.

Front

What occurs during the M phase of the cell cycle?

Back

Mitosis and cytokinesis, resulting in cell division.

Front

What is the significance of the S phase in the cell cycle?

Back

It is the phase where DNA is replicated, ensuring each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.

Front

What checkpoints are present in the cell cycle, and why are they important?

Back

Checkpoints (G1, G2, M) ensure that the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase, preventing errors in cell division.

Front

What role do cyclins play in the cell cycle?

Back

Cyclins are proteins that regulate the progression of the cell cycle by activating cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs).
