Unit 3 Mid Review

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Front

How many daughter cells are produced in mitosis?

Back

2

Front

What are the phases of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle consists of Interphase (G1, S, G2 phases) and the M phase (mitosis and cytokinesis).

Front

What occurs during the G1 phase of Interphase?

Back

During the G1 phase, the cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

What is the S phase of Interphase?

Back

The S phase is the part of Interphase where DNA is replicated, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.

Front

What is the G2 phase of Interphase?

Back

The G2 phase is the final phase of Interphase where the cell prepares for mitosis, including the synthesis of proteins and organelles.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse daughter cells and involves two rounds of cell division.

Front

What is Interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell spends most of its life, preparing for division by growing and replicating its DNA.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm of a parental cell is divided into two daughter cells.

Front

What is the role of enzymes in DNA replication?

Back

Enzymes facilitate the pairing of new nucleotides with exposed bases on the DNA strand during replication.
