Cell Cycle

Front

What are the stages of mitosis in order?

Back

prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

Front

What is the stage of the cell cycle where the cell splits into two?

Back

Cytokinesis

Front

Which part of the cell cycle takes the longest?

Back

Interphase

Front

During which phase of the cell cycle does the cell grow?

Back

G1 phase

Front

What does NOT happen during interphase?

Back

cell division

Front

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

Back

The G1 phase is primarily for cell growth and preparation for DNA replication.

Front

What occurs during the S phase of interphase?

Back

DNA replication occurs during the S phase.

Front

What is the role of the G2 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The G2 phase involves further growth and preparation for mitosis.

Front

What is the significance of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

Checkpoints ensure that the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase, preventing errors.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

During prophase, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.
