Front

What must be copied before cells can divide?

Back

DNA

Front

What is the time between cell divisions in the life cycle of the cell called?

Back

Interphase

Front

Why is it important to replicate DNA before a cell divides?

Back

In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.

Front

What holds the replicated sister chromatids together?

Back

Centromere

Front

Which of the following is NOT occurring during interphase?

Back

Two new cells are made.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What are the main stages of the cell cycle?

Back

The main stages are interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.

Front

What happens during interphase?

Back

During interphase, the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for division.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.

Front

What is the role of the centrioles during mitosis?

Back

Centrioles help organize the spindle fibers that separate the chromosomes.
