The Cell Cycle

Front

What is the longest phase of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle, where the cell spends most of its life.

Front

During which phase is DNA replicated?

Back

DNA is replicated during the S phase of the cell cycle.

Front

What does cytokinesis do in the cell cycle?

Back

Cytokinesis completes the cell cycle by dividing the cytoplasm and forming two daughter cells.

Front

What happens during interphase?

Back

During interphase, a cell grows, duplicates organelles, and copies DNA.

Front

What is the correct order of the cell cycle?

Back

The correct order is G1 -> S -> G2 -> Mitosis -> Cytokinesis.

Front

What is the purpose of the G1 phase?

Back

The G1 phase is for cell growth and preparation for DNA replication.

Front

What occurs during the G2 phase?

Back

During the G2 phase, the cell prepares for mitosis by checking for DNA damage and ensuring all DNA is replicated.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis?

Back

Mitosis is the division of the nucleus, while cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.
