Cell Cycle

Front

What is the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The S phase is the part of the cell cycle where DNA is replicated.

Front

What is the longest phase of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle.

Front

During which part of the cell cycle does the cell divide?

Back

The cell divides during Mitosis.

Front

What is the primary function of the G1 phase in interphase?

Back

The primary function of the G1 phase is to allow the cell to grow.

Front

What occurs during the S stage of interphase?

Back

During the S stage of interphase, the DNA is replicated.

Front

What are the three main phases of interphase?

Back

The three main phases of interphase are G1, S, and G2.

Front

What happens during the G2 phase of interphase?

Back

During the G2 phase, the cell prepares for mitosis by producing proteins and organelles.

Front

What is the role of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

Checkpoints in the cell cycle monitor and regulate the progression of the cell cycle to ensure proper division.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of nuclear division, while cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.

Front

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

Back

The M phase is significant because it is when the cell divides, resulting in two daughter cells.
