Front

What are the three stages of interphase?

Back

G1, S, G2

Front

What is the outcome of mitosis in terms of the resulting cells?

Back

The two resulting cells are identical to the starting cell and identical to each other.

Front

What phase follows prophase in mitosis?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What is the main purpose of the S phase in interphase?

Back

The S phase is where DNA replication occurs.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What happens during the G2 phase of interphase?

Back

The G2 phase involves further growth and preparation for mitosis.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse gametes.
