The Cell Cycle H

Front

What are the two daughter cells produced during mitosis genetically compared to the parent cell?

Back

They are genetically identical to the parent cell.

Front

What is the longest stage of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase.

Front

List the stages of the cell cycle in order.

Back

G1, S, G2, Mitosis, Cytokinesis.

Front

What happens during prophase of mitosis?

Back

DNA condenses into chromosomes, centrioles and spindle fibers appear.

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where chromosomes align in the center of the cell?

Back

Metaphase.

Front

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

Back

The cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.

Front

What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

DNA replication occurs, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate daughter cells.

Front

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

Back

The cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis, ensuring all DNA is replicated.
