Cell Cycle

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The series of events a cell goes through as it grows and divides.

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase, and M phase.

Front

What happens during the G1 phase?

Back

The cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

What occurs during the S phase?

Back

DNA replication takes place, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.

Front

What is the G2 phase?

Back

The cell prepares for mitosis by producing proteins and organelles.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

The process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.

Front

How many stages are in mitosis?

Back

There are four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The division of the cytoplasm, resulting in two separate cells after mitosis.

Front

Why is DNA replication important before cell division?

Back

It ensures that genetic information is accurately transferred to daughter cells.

Front

What is the order of the cell cycle phases?

Back

G1, S, G2, Mitosis, Cytokinesis.
