Front

What occurs during the G1 stage of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell grows, synthesizes proteins, and prepares for DNA replication.

Front

What must be copied before a cell can divide?

Back

DNA

Front

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

Back

To replicate the cell's DNA.

Front

What happens during the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

To separate the chromatids and pull them to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

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

Back

It is the phase where mitosis and cytokinesis occur, resulting in cell division.

Front

What is the function of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

To ensure that the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase and to prevent errors.
