Back

Anaphase

Front

What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

Replication of the DNA

Front

Which viral life cycle involves the viral genetic material integrating into the host's DNA and remaining dormant?

Back

Lysogenic cycle

Front

Where does DNA replication occur in eukaryotic cells?

Back

Nucleus

Front

What is a virus that specifically infects bacterial cells called?

Back

Front

What is the first phase of mitosis where chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down?

Back

Prophase

Front

In which phase of the cell cycle does the cell grow and prepare for mitosis?

Back

G2 phase

Front

What is the term for the structure that forms during cell division to separate the two daughter cells?

Back

Cleavage furrow (in animal cells) or Cell plate (in plant cells)

Front

What is the role of the mitotic spindle during mitosis?

Back

To separate the sister chromatids and pull them to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is the difference between the lytic and lysogenic cycles of a virus?

Back

Lytic cycle results in the destruction of the host cell, while lysogenic cycle integrates viral DNA into the host's DNA.
