Cell Cycle

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is a series of events that a cell goes through as it grows and divides.

Front

What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the S phase, DNA is replicated.

Front

What happens during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the G1 phase, the cell grows.

Front

List the phases of the cell cycle in order: cell grows, DNA replicates, cell prepares for mitosis, cell divides.

Back

The correct order is: cell grows, DNA replicates, cell prepares for mitosis, cell divides.

Front

Why is DNA replication important before cell division?

Back

DNA replication is important to ensure that genetic information is accurately transferred to daughter cells.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.

Front

What is meiosis?

Back

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four genetically diverse gametes.

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

The main phases of the cell cycle are G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase, and M phase.

Front

What occurs during the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

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, ensuring that cells do not divide before they are ready.
