Cell Cycle and Mitosis 2

Front

What are the two resulting cells in mitosis compared to the starting cell?

Back

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

Front

How many chromosomes do humans have?

Back

Humans have 46 chromosomes.

Front

During which phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?

Back

DNA is replicated during the S phase.

Front

What is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell spends most of its time?

Back

The phase where the cell spends most of its time is Interphase.

Front

What is the process called when the cell membrane splits and two new daughter cells are formed?

Back

The process is called Cytokinesis.

Front

What are the main stages of the cell cycle?

Back

The main stages of the cell cycle are Interphase (G1, S, G2) and M phase (Mitosis and Cytokinesis).

Front

What occurs during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the G1 phase, the cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

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

Back

The S phase is responsible for the synthesis of DNA, where each chromosome is replicated.

Front

What happens during the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the G2 phase, the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis by producing necessary proteins and organelles.

Front

What are the four main stages of mitosis?

Back

The four main stages of mitosis are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.
