Extra Credit: Cell Cycle

Front

What are the phases of Mitosis?

Back

Mitosis has 4 phases: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

Front

What occurs during the S stage of interphase?

Back

During the S stage of interphase, the DNA is replicated.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the final stage of mitosis where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two daughter cells.

Front

During which part of the cell cycle is DNA copied?

Back

DNA is copied during the S phase of interphase.

Front

What is cancer?

Back

Cancer is uncontrolled cell division that can lead to tumors and disease.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, consisting of G1, S, and G2 phases.

Front

What happens in Prophase?

Back

In Prophase, the chromatin condenses into chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during mitosis by attaching to the centromeres and pulling them apart.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of nuclear division, while cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.

Front

What is the G1 phase?

Back

The G1 phase is the first stage of interphase where the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.
