Cell Cycle Test Fall 24

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

The main phases of the cell cycle are Interphase (G1, S, G2) and the Mitotic phase (M).

Front

What occurs during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the G1 phase, the cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

What happens during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the S phase, DNA is replicated, resulting in two sister chromatids for each chromosome.

Front

What is the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The G2 phase is the second growth phase where the cell prepares for mitosis, producing proteins and organelles.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What are the stages of mitosis?

Back

The stages of mitosis are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells after mitosis.

Front

What condenses to form chromosomes during cell division?

Back

Chromatin condenses to form chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What is the role of sister chromatids?

Back

Sister chromatids are identical copies of a chromosome, joined together at the centromere, and are separated during mitosis.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell is not actively dividing and is preparing for mitosis.
