Cell Cycle

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is a series of events that a cell goes through as it grows and divides.

Front

What is the longest stage of the cell cycle?

Back

The longest stage of the cell cycle is called Interphase.

Front

List the stages of the cell cycle in order.

Back

The stages of the cell cycle in order are: G1, S, G2, M.

Front

During which phase does the cell grow?

Back

The cell grows during the G1 phase.

Front

What are the stages of the cell cycle in order including cytokinesis?

Back

The stages in order are: G1, S, G2, Mitosis, Cytokinesis.

Front

What happens during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the S phase, DNA is replicated.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the purpose of the G2 phase?

Back

The G2 phase is for further growth and preparation for mitosis.

Front

What occurs during the M phase?

Back

During the M phase, the cell undergoes mitosis and divides into two daughter cells.

Front

What is the role of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

Checkpoints in the cell cycle ensure that the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase.
