Cell Cycle

Front

What are the stages of mitosis in order?

Back

prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

Front

During which phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?

Back

S phase

Front

What is the stage of the cell cycle during which the nucleus divides?

Back

Mitosis

Front

What are sister chromatids?

Back

Sister chromatids are identical copies of a chromosome, connected by a centromere.

Front

What happens to chromosomes during anaphase of mitosis?

Back

Chromosomes are pulled toward opposite ends of the cell.

Front

What is the purpose of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is the process by which a cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and divides to produce two daughter cells.

Front

What is the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The G1 phase is the first gap phase where the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.

Front

What occurs during the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the G2 phase, the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes and pull them to opposite ends of the cell.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides to form two separate daughter cells.
