Semester 1 BIG FAT REVIEW FLASHCARD

Front

What is Interphase in the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase is the phase where chromosomes duplicate, and the cell grows and develops. It consists of G1, S, and G2 phases.

Front

What phase of mitosis is characterized by the alignment of chromosomes at the cell's equator?

Back

Metaphase is the phase of mitosis where chromosomes align at the cell's equator.

Front

How many ATP are produced during fermentation?

Back

Fermentation produces 2 ATP.

Front

During which phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?

Back

DNA is replicated during the S phase of the cell cycle.

Front

What type of cells are plants and animal cells classified as?

Back

Plants and animal cells are classified as eukaryotic cells.

Front

What occurs during Prophase in mitosis?

Back

During Prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the main purpose of the G1 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The G1 phase is primarily for cell growth and preparation for DNA replication.

Front

What is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during mitosis.

Front

What is the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Back

Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have both.

Front

What happens during Anaphase in mitosis?

Back

During Anaphase, sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
