Front

What is the X-shaped structure that carries genetic information in the form of genes?

Back

Chromosomes

Front

What is the first phase of the cell cycle that includes G1, S, and G2 phases?

Back

Interphase

Front

In which phase does the cell spend most of its time?

Back

Interphase

Front

What phase is responsible for cell growth, DNA replication, and cell functions?

Back

Interphase

Front

What is the main purpose of mitosis?

Back

To produce two identical diploid daughter cells.

Front

What are the three sub-phases of interphase?

Back

G1 (Gap 1), S (Synthesis), G2 (Gap 2).

Front

During which phase does DNA replication occur?

Back

S phase of interphase.

Front

What is the significance of the G1 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

It is the phase where the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.

Front

What happens during the G2 phase of interphase?

Back

The cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis.
