EOC Review #3: Cell Cycle and DNA Structure

Front

What is the structure found during animal cell mitosis that is absent during plant cell mitosis?

Back

Centriole

Front

How do plant and animal mitosis differ in terms of cell division?

Back

Plant cells divide by producing a cell plate, while the plasma membrane pinches in during animal mitosis.

Front

Where does DNA replication occur in a eukaryotic cell?

Back

Nucleus

Front

What is the primary purpose of mitosis?

Back

To replace dead or damaged cells with identical copies.

Front

During which phase of the cell cycle does DNA replication occur?

Back

Interphase.

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication.

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis.

Front

What happens during interphase?

Back

The cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.

Front

What is the role of centrioles in cell division?

Back

Centrioles help organize the mitotic spindle during mitosis.
