DNA/Mitosis/Cell Transport

Front

What are the stages of mitosis in order?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Front

What stage of mitosis is characterized by the separation of sister chromatids?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What are the monomers of DNA?

Back

Nucleotides

Front

What is the primary function of nucleotides in DNA?

Back

To store genetic information

Front

How does cancer form in relation to the cell cycle?

Back

Checkpoints are missed during the cell cycle, allowing potential cancer-causing cells to divide.

Front

What is the role of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

To ensure that cells do not proceed to the next phase until certain conditions are met.

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell division?

Back

Prokaryotic cells divide by binary fission, while eukaryotic cells divide by mitosis.

Front

What is the significance of the metaphase stage in mitosis?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, ensuring proper separation.

Front

What type of molecules can easily pass through a cell membrane?

Back

Small, nonpolar molecules and water.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
