Cell cycle/Mitosis

Front

What is the correct sequence of the cell cycle?

Back

G₁ → S → G₂ → M

Front

During which phase of the cell cycle do most routine metabolic processes occur?

Back

Gap 1 (G₁) phase.

Front

What are the two resulting cells in mitosis?

Back

Identical to the starting cell and identical to each other.

Front

In which phase of mitosis do chromosomes become attached to spindle fibers?

Back

Metaphase.

Front

What are the stages of mitosis in order?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What is the function of the S phase in the cell cycle?

Back

DNA replication occurs, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.

Front

What happens during Prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

They help separate the chromosomes and pull them to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What occurs during Anaphase?

Back

Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell.

Front

What is Telophase?

Back

The final stage of mitosis where chromosomes de-condense and the nuclear envelope re-forms.
