What is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division?

Back

G2 phase

Front

What is the main purpose of the M phase in the cell cycle?

Back

To divide the cell into two daughter cells.

Front

What happens during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

What is the role of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

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

What occurs during metaphase in mitosis?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.
