2024 Genetics Unit One Review: The Cell Cycle and Its Regulation

Front

What are cyclins?

Back

Cyclins are regulatory proteins that control the progression of the cell cycle.

Front

What are cyclin dependent kinases?

Back

Cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs) are enzymes that, when activated by cyclins, help regulate the cell cycle.

Front

What phase of mitosis is shown in the picture?

Back

Telophase is the phase of mitosis where the chromosomes are at opposite ends of the cell and the cell begins to divide.

Front

What form of DNA is present during interphase?

Back

Chromatin is the form of DNA that is present during interphase.

Front

During which stage of mitosis do the chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell?

Back

Metaphase is the stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell.

Front

How many chromosomes does a tomato plant cell have?

Back

A tomato plant cell has 24 chromosomes.

Front

How many chromosomes will each daughter cell have after mitotic division?

Back

Each daughter cell will have 24 chromosomes after mitotic division.

Front

What is the purpose of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is the process by which a cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and divides to form two daughter cells.

Front

What happens during interphase?

Back

During interphase, the cell grows, performs its normal functions, and prepares for division by duplicating its DNA.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

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