Unit 3 Mid Review

Front

What is the main purpose of DNA replication?

Back

To ensure that two identical copies of the DNA are formed.

Front

Which of the following is not a phase in Interphase?

Back

Mitosis is not a phase in Interphase.

Front

How many daughter cells are created from the process of mitosis?

Back

2 daughter cells are created from mitosis.

Front

What is the correct order of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase -> Mitosis -> Cytokinesis.

Front

What is the role of the spindle fibers during cell division?

Back

To separate sister chromatids.

Front

Define Interphase.

Back

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, including G1, S, and G2 phases.

Front

What occurs during the S phase of Interphase?

Back

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

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

The process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.

Front

What is the function of DNA?

Back

DNA stores genetic information that guides the development and functioning of living organisms.

Front

What are sister chromatids?

Back

Identical copies of a chromosome, connected by a centromere, formed during DNA replication.
