Front

What occurs during G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

Front

How do animal cells divide?

Back

Animal cells divide with a cleavage furrow.

Front

What happens to chromosomes during anaphase of mitosis?

Back

Chromosomes are pulled toward opposite ends of the cell.

Front

Which phase of mitosis involves sister chromatids aligning at the center?

Back

Metaphase.

Front

What is the process called that divides the cytoplasm and organelles after mitosis?

Back

Cytokinesis.

Front

What is the main purpose of the cell cycle?

Back

To ensure proper cell growth, DNA replication, and division.

Front

What is the role of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

Checkpoints monitor the cell's progress and ensure that conditions are favorable for division.

Front

What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

DNA replication occurs, resulting in two sister chromatids for each chromosome.

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.

Front

What structure forms during cytokinesis in plant cells?

Back

A cell plate forms during cytokinesis in plant cells.
