AP Biology - Topic 4.6 Cell Cycle

Front

What is the correct sequence of the cell cycle?

Back

G1, S, G2, mitosis, cytokinesis

Front

What are chromatids?

Back

Chromatids are the two identical halves of a duplicated chromosome, which are joined together by a centromere.

Front

In which phase of the cell cycle does a cell spend the most time?

Back

Interphase.

Front

What is the result of the cell cycle?

Back

2 identical daughter cells.

Front

Where are chromosomes found in a cell?

Back

In the nucleus.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell spends most of its time, preparing for division by growing and replicating its DNA.

Front

What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

DNA replication occurs, resulting in the duplication of chromosomes.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the final step of cell division, where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.

Front

What role do centrioles play in cell division?

Back

Centrioles help organize the mitotic spindle during mitosis.
