Cell Cycle

Front

What are the main phases of Mitosis?

Back

Mitosis has four main phases: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

Front

What is Cancer?

Back

Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells, often resulting in a tumor or mass of abnormal cells.

Front

What occurs during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the G1 phase, the cell grows and synthesizes proteins and organelles.

Front

What is the S phase of the cell cycle responsible for?

Back

The S phase is responsible for DNA replication, where the cell duplicates its genetic material.

Front

What happens during the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the G2 phase, the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis by synthesizing proteins and organelles.

Front

What is Interphase?

Back

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

Front

What is the result of the cell cycle?

Back

The result of the cell cycle is two identical daughter cells.

Front

How long does a cell typically spend in Interphase?

Back

A cell typically spends about 90% of its time in Interphase.

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.

Front

What is the role of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

Checkpoints are regulatory mechanisms that ensure the cell cycle progresses correctly and prevents errors.
