Mitosis and Meiosis

Front

What is the end product of meiosis in terms of daughter cells?

Back

4 daughter cells are produced at the end of meiosis.

Front

What are the three phases of interphase in order?

Back

The order of the three phases in interphase is G1, S, G2.

Front

What is the consequence of stopping the cell cycle after an injury?

Back

If the cell cycle is stopped, the injury wouldn't heal.

In which phase of the cell cycle does a cell spend the longest time?

Back

A cell spends the longest time in interphase.

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 daughter cells.

Front

What is the significance of the S phase in interphase?

Back

The S phase is where DNA replication occurs, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.

Front

What happens during the G1 phase of interphase?

Back

During the G1 phase, the cell grows and carries out normal functions while preparing for DNA replication.

Front

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

Back

The G2 phase involves further growth and preparation for mitosis, including the synthesis of proteins necessary for cell division.
