Mitosis & Cell Cycle

Front

What happens at the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

DNA replication occurs during the S phase.

Front

During which phase do chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?

Back

Chromosomes line up in the middle during metaphase.

Front

What is the consequence of uncontrolled mitosis?

Back

Uncontrolled mitosis can lead to cancer.

Front

What does the 'M' stand for in the Cell Cycle?

Back

The 'M' stands for Mitosis.

Front

Which phase of the cell cycle is NOT part of interphase?

Back

M phase is NOT part of interphase.

Front

What are the main stages of the cell cycle?

Back

The main stages are G1, S, G2, and M.

Front

What occurs during prophase?

Back

During prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in 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.
