U4: Test 4 Practice (Parts 1 and 2)

Front

What is the Cell Cycle?

Back

The Cell Cycle is the series of phases that a cell goes through to grow and divide, including interphase and the mitotic phase.

Front

What are the main stages of the Cell Cycle?

Back

The main stages are Interphase (G1, S, G2) and the Mitotic Phase (Mitosis and Cytokinesis).

Front

What occurs during Anaphase?

Back

During Anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is the purpose of cell replication?

Back

Cell replication is necessary for growth, replacement of dying cells, and repair of damaged cells.

Front

What is Crossing Over?

Back

Crossing Over is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during Prophase I of meiosis.

Front

What is the correct order of mitosis stages?

Back

The correct order is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

Front

What happens during Interphase?

Back

During Interphase, the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is the role of G1 phase?

Back

The G1 phase is the first stage of Interphase where the cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

What happens in the S phase?

Back

In the S phase, DNA replication occurs, resulting in two identical sets of chromosomes.

Front

What is the function of the G2 phase?

Back

The G2 phase is the final stage of Interphase where the cell prepares for mitosis by producing proteins and organelles.
