Cell Cycle

Front

What is the G1 phase of the cell cycle responsible for?

Back

The G1 phase is responsible for rapid cell growth.

Front

What occurs during the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the G2 phase, the cell checks for errors in DNA.

Front

Which phase of the cell cycle is characterized by protein and organelle synthesis?

Back

The G2 phase is characterized by protein and organelle synthesis.

Front

What is the longest phase of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle.

Front

Define cancer in the context of cell biology.

Back

Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells, often resulting in a tumor or mass of abnormal cells.

Front

What are the three main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

The three main phases of the cell cycle are Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis.

Front

What happens during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the S phase, DNA replication occurs.

Front

What is the role of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

Checkpoints in the cell cycle are mechanisms that ensure the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase.

Front

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

Back

The M phase is responsible for the division of the cell's nucleus and cytoplasm.

Front

How does the cell cycle contribute to growth and repair in organisms?

Back

The cell cycle allows for growth and repair by enabling cells to divide and produce new cells.
