Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

Front

How many chromosomes do humans have after a complete cell cycle?

Back

46 chromosomes.

Front

Back

Interphase is the longest stage of the cell cycle where the cell grows and prepares for division.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division where the cytoplasm divides, forming two separate cells.

Front

What phase comes after metaphase in mitosis?

Back

Anaphase.

Front

What is the longest stage of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase.

Front

True or False: The cell cycle consists of interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.

Back

True.

Front

What happens during anaphase?

Back

During anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell.
