Cell Cycle Review

Front

What is cancer in relation to the cell cycle?

Back

Cancer is unregulated cell division, where cells grow and divide much quicker than they normally would.

Front

What are the main stages of the cell cycle?

Back

The main stages of the cell cycle are G1, S, G2, and M.

Front

What is the purpose of the G2 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The purpose of the G2 phase is to ensure DNA is undamaged before cell division.

Front

What does Arrow 1 represent in the cell cycle diagram?

Back

Arrow 1 represents interphase.

Front

What does Arrow 2 represent in the cell cycle diagram?

Back

Arrow 2 represents mitosis.

Front

What is the correct order of the phases of Mitosis?

Back

The correct order is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What occurs during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the G1 phase, the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.

Front

What happens during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the S phase, DNA replication occurs, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.

Front

What is the role of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

Checkpoints ensure that the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase and that DNA is undamaged.

Front

What is apoptosis in the context of the cell cycle?

Back

Apoptosis is the process of programmed cell death that occurs when a cell is damaged or no longer needed.
