Front

What are the stages of mitosis in order?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What is the G0 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The G0 phase is a stage where the cell is in a resting state and no longer divides.

Front

Which of the following is NOT a stage of the cell cycle?

Back

Apoptosis is not a stage of the cell cycle.

Front

What is the function of the M checkpoint in the cell cycle?

Back

The M checkpoint ensures that nondisjunction does not take place during cell division.

Front

What is positive feedback in biological systems?

Back

Positive feedback amplifies responses and processes, enhancing the effect of a stimulus.

Front

What is the role of interphase in the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase is the phase where the cell prepares for division, including DNA replication.

Front

What occurs during cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse gametes.

Front

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

Back

The S phase is where DNA replication occurs, ensuring each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.

Front

What is the role of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

Checkpoints regulate the progression of the cell cycle and ensure proper division.
