Cell Cycle

Front

Non dividing state of the cell cycle

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell is not actively dividing. It includes G1, S, and G2 phases.

Front

Chromosomes line along the center of the cell

Back

Metaphase is the stage of mitosis where chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.

Front

The division of the cytoplasm is called?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process during cell division where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two daughter cells.

Front

Having only one copy of each chromosome

Back

Haploid refers to a cell that contains a single set of chromosomes, typical of gametes.

Front

Chromosomes are visible and spindle fibers start to appear

Back

Prophase is the first stage of mitosis where chromosomes condense and become visible, and spindle fibers begin to form.

Front

The phase where DNA is replicated

Back

S phase (Synthesis phase) is the part of interphase where DNA is replicated, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.

Front

The phase following metaphase

Back

Anaphase is the stage of mitosis where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

The final stage of mitosis

Back

Telophase is the stage where the chromosomes de-condense, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.

Front

The term for a cell with two copies of each chromosome

Back

Diploid refers to a cell that contains two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.

Front

The checkpoint that ensures DNA is not damaged before replication

Back

G1 checkpoint is a control mechanism that ensures the cell is ready for DNA synthesis.
