What does the cell cycle allow an organism to do?

Back

Grow, Repair, and Development (GRD)

Front

During which phase of the cell cycle does the cell spend the most time?

Back

Interphase

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The stage of the cell cycle where the rest of the cell divides after mitosis is complete.

Front

During the 's' phase of the cell cycle, DNA is duplicated. Why is this important?

Back

Allows for each daughter cell to be genetically IDENTICAL.

Front

During most of interphase, DNA is found in a relaxed form called?

Back

chromatin

Front

What is the main purpose of the cell cycle?

Back

To enable growth, repair, and development of an organism.

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis.

Front

What happens during the G1 phase of interphase?

Back

The cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

What is the role of mitosis in the cell cycle?

Back

To ensure equal distribution of duplicated chromosomes to daughter cells.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis?

Back

Mitosis is the division of the nucleus, while cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.
