Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Front

What carries our genetic information?

Back

DNA carries our genetic information.

Front

What are the main stages of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle consists of interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.

Front

At the end of the cell cycle, are the two resulting cells genetically different?

Back

No, the two resulting cells are genetically identical.

Front

Where is our DNA located in our cells?

Back

Our DNA is located in the nucleus of our cells.

Front

What is the last part of the cell cycle where the cell divides into two cells?

Back

Cytokinesis is the last part of the cell cycle.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, including DNA replication.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

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

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

During prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

The nucleus houses the cell's DNA and controls cellular activities.
