Act 13 The Cell Cycle & Act 3 Mitosis Review

Front

What is the correct order of the phases of the cell cycle?

Back

G1, S, G2, M

Front

What occurs during the M phase of the cell cycle?

Back

Cell division

Front

What happens during anaphase of mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers shorten, centromere splits, and sister chromatids are separated to opposite ends of the cell.

Front

What occurs during telophase of mitosis?

Back

The nuclear membrane begins to reform around the separated sister chromatids and the cytoplasm begins to pinch around the cleavage furrow.

Front

What happens during prophase of mitosis?

Back

DNA condenses into chromosome form and the spindle apparatus forms on opposite sides of the cell.

Front

What is the function of the spindle apparatus during mitosis?

Back

To separate sister chromatids and ensure proper distribution to daughter cells.

Front

Define the G1 phase of the cell cycle.

Back

The first gap phase where the cell grows and prepares for DNA synthesis.

Front

What is the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The synthesis phase where DNA is replicated.

Front

What is the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The second gap phase where the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is the role of the centromere during mitosis?

Back

To hold sister chromatids together until they are separated during anaphase.
