Cell Cycle Review

Front

What is the stage in which the cell divides cytoplasm into two daughter cells with identical nuclei?

Back

Cytokinesis

Front

What is the substage of interphase immediately after a cell divides?

Back

G1 phase

Front

What genes work to 'green light' the cell cycle?

Back

Proto-oncogenes

Front

What is the 'resting' phase where a cell goes if it differentiates or doesn't have the resources to divide?

Back

G0 phase

Front

What stage involves the division and separation of the cell’s nuclear material?

Back

M phase

Front

What is the phase of the cell cycle where DNA is replicated?

Back

S phase

Front

What is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for mitosis?

Back

G2 phase

Front

What are the two main types of genes that regulate the cell cycle?

Back

Proto-oncogenes and Tumor Suppressor genes

Front

What is the role of tumor suppressor genes in the cell cycle?

Back

They inhibit cell division and prevent tumor formation.

Front

What happens during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell grows and carries out normal functions.
