Cell Cycle

Front

What happens during M phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell is dividing all organelles and DNA.

Front

What does the checkpoint at the end of the S phase check for?

Back

To see if the DNA was correctly replicated.

Front

What phases make up interphase?

Back

G1, S, G2.

Front

What is the primary activity of the cell during interphase?

Back

Growing and replicating DNA.

Front

What does the 'M' in M phase stand for?

Back

Mitosis.

Front

What is the purpose of the G1 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.

Front

What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

DNA replication takes place.

Front

What is the role of the G2 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The cell prepares for mitosis and checks for DNA damage.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

They ensure that the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase and that errors are corrected.
