Front

What phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?

Back

S phase

Front

During which phase do cells spend the majority of their lives?

Back

Interphase

Front

What is the process called that allows muscle cells and nerve cells to develop from the same fertilized egg?

Back

Differentiation

Front

What is the term for the programmed death of a cell?

Back

Apoptosis

Front

What is the final phase of mitosis called?

Back

Telophase

Front

What is the role of RNA in protein synthesis?

Back

RNA acts as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins.

Front

What are the three main stages of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis

Front

What occurs during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

Cell growth and normal functions occur, and the cell prepares for DNA replication.

Front

What is the main purpose of mitosis?

Back

To divide a single cell into two identical daughter cells.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains the genetic blueprint, while RNA is single-stranded and helps in protein synthesis.
