CELL CYCLE FLASHCARD

Front

What occurs during the G2 stage of the cell cycle?

Back

During the G2 stage, organelles, structures for cell division, and proteins are made.

Front

What is the process called that involves the division of a cell into four genetically diverse cells?

Back

Meiosis.

Front

What percentage of the original cell's DNA is present in each new cell after meiosis?

Back

50%.

Front

What is the stage of the cell cycle where the cell is not actively dividing?

Back

Interphase.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

The main phases are Interphase (G1, S, G2) and the Mitotic phase (M).

Front

What happens during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the S phase, DNA replication occurs, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.

Front

What is the role of mitosis in the cell cycle?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical cells, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse cells.

Front

What is the significance of the G1 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The G1 phase is crucial for cell growth and preparation for DNA synthesis.
