Cell Cycle Review

Front

What is the longest part of the Cell Cycle?

Back

Interphase is the longest part of the Cell Cycle, where the cell grows and prepares for division.

Front

What phase follows Anaphase in Mitosis?

Back

Telophase is the phase that follows Anaphase in Mitosis, where the chromosomes begin to de-condense.

Front

What is a karyotype?

Back

A karyotype is an image that displays the number and appearance of chromosomes in a cell.

Front

What is cancer in relation to the Cell Cycle?

Back

Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells, often resulting in a tumor or mass of abnormal cells.

Front

What type of cells are gametes?

Back

Gametes are haploid cells, meaning they contain one set of chromosomes.

Front

What occurs during Interphase?

Back

During Interphase, the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is Mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of checkpoints in the Cell Cycle?

Back

Checkpoints are mechanisms that ensure the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase of the Cell Cycle.

Front

What happens during Prophase?

Back

During Prophase, chromosomes condense and become visible, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the difference between haploid and diploid cells?

Back

Haploid cells have one set of chromosomes, while diploid cells have two sets.
