AP Bio Insta-Review Topic 4.6: Cell Cycle

Front

What is the phase of mitosis when sister chromatids are pulled to opposite poles?

Back

Anaphase

Front

How many rounds of division occur in mitosis?

Back

1

Front

Which phase of interphase does the cell grow?

Back

All of them (G1, S, G2)

Front

Which of the following is not part of interphase? (G1, G2, M, S)

Back

M (Mitosis is not part of interphase)

Front

Which phase involves sister chromatids pairing?

Back

Prophase

Front

What are the three phases of interphase?

Back

G1 (Gap 1), S (Synthesis), G2 (Gap 2)

Front

What happens during the S phase of interphase?

Back

DNA replication occurs, resulting in two sister chromatids for each chromosome.

Front

What is the main purpose of mitosis?

Back

To divide the cell's nucleus and ensure each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.

Front

What is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

They help separate the sister chromatids and pull them to opposite poles of the cell.
