Cell Cycle and Mitosis

Front

What is the process called where the cytoplasm of the cell divides?

Back

Cytokinesis

Front

What structure holds sister chromatids together during mitosis?

Back

Centromere

Front

What happens during the 'S' phase of the cell cycle?

Back

DNA is duplicated.

Front

What is the correct order of the stages of the cell cycle?

Back

G1, S, G2, M

Front

Why is metaphase important in cell division?

Back

During metaphase, the DNA lines up so exact copies can be pulled to each side.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What are the main stages of the cell cycle?

Back

G1, S, G2, M (Mitosis).

Front

What occurs during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the sister chromatids during cell division.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, including G1, S, and G2 phases.
