Unit 6: Cell Cycle Review

Front

What are the stages of the cell cycle in order?

Back

G1, S, G2, M

Front

Why is the 'S' phase of the cell cycle important?

Back

It allows for each daughter cell to be genetically IDENTICAL.

Front

What are HeLa Cells?

Back

HeLa Cells are the first immortal cell line to exist outside of a human body.

Front

What are the main reasons why cells divide?

Back

Repair, reproduce, replace, and resize.

Front

What happens during Interphase?

Back

The cell is growing, replicating DNA, and preparing for division.

Front

What is the function of the G1 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

DNA is duplicated.

Front

What is the role of the G2 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm, resulting in two separate cells.
