Cell Cycle

Front

During which parts of the cell cycle does the cell grow?

Back

G1 and G2 phases are where the cell grows.

Front

What is the purpose of the cell cycle?

Back

The purpose of the cell cycle is to create new daughter cells.

Front

Back

Cancer.

Front

In the S stage of interphase_______________

Back

The DNA is replicated.

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

The main phases are Interphase (G1, S, G2) and Mitosis (M phase).

Front

What happens during the G1 phase?

Back

The cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

What occurs during the S phase?

Back

DNA replication occurs, resulting in two identical sets of chromosomes.

Front

What is the role of the G2 phase?

Back

The cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

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