Back

Front

What is the purpose of interphase in the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase is the stage where the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of mitosis in the cell cycle?

Back

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

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

The main phases are Interphase (G1, S, G2) and M phase (Mitosis and Cytokinesis).

Front

What is the significance of the G1 phase?

Back

The G1 phase is where the cell grows and carries out normal functions before DNA replication.
