Front

What occurs during S phase?

Back

DNA replication

Front

What is cell division?

Back

One cell dividing into two daughter cells.

Front

What phase does the cell spend a majority of its life?

Back

Interphase

Front

This part of M phase is where the cytoplasm and organelles divide.

Front

What is the purpose of the G1 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

Cell growth and normal metabolic functions.

Front

What happens during the G2 phase?

Back

Preparation for mitosis, including the synthesis of proteins and organelles.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What are the main stages of mitosis?

Back

Front

What is the role of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

To ensure that the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase.
