7th Chapter 2 (Part 2) Review

Front

What is interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division. It includes DNA replication and cell growth.

Front

What happens during the cell cycle stage of mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells, involving the separation of chromosomes.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the final stage of the cell cycle where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

During metaphase, chromosomes align in the middle of the cell before being separated into each daughter cell.

Front

Why do cells replicate?

Back

Cells replicate for growth, repair of damaged tissue, and replacement of dying cells.

Front

What is the result of one cell undergoing five divisions?

Back

One original cell can produce 32 new cells after five divisions.

Front

What is the main purpose of DNA replication during interphase?

Back

The main purpose of DNA replication during interphase is to ensure that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis?

Back

Mitosis is the division of the nucleus, while cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.

Front

What are the stages of the cell cycle?

Back

The stages of the cell cycle include interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.

Front

What is the role of the nucleus during cell division?

Back

The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material and is responsible for controlling cell activities, including cell division.
