Cell Cycle

Front

What is the G1 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The G1 phase is the first stage of interphase where the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.

Front

What is the purpose of the G1 checkpoint?

Back

The G1 checkpoint checks if the cell has grown enough to proceed to the next phase.

Front

What are the three phases of interphase?

Back

The three phases of interphase are G1, S, and G2.

Front

What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the S phase, DNA is replicated.

Front

What is the G0 phase?

Back

The G0 phase is a resting state where cells are not actively preparing to divide.

Front

Which phase is not part of interphase?

Back

The M phase (mitosis) is not part of interphase.

Front

What types of cells typically proceed quickly through the cell cycle?

Back

Skin cells and hair follicle cells typically proceed quickly through the cell cycle.

Front

What happens during the G2 phase?

Back

During the G2 phase, the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.

Front

What role do checkpoints play in the cell cycle?

Back

Checkpoints ensure that the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase, preventing errors.
