Cell Cycle + Mitosis

Front

What is the function of cyclins?

Back

Cyclins are proteins that regulate when and how often a cell divides.

Front

During which stage of the cell cycle does the cytoplasm and its contents divide?

Back

Cytokinesis

Front

Put the phases of the cell cycle in the correct order: G1, S, G2, M.

Back

G1, S, G2, M

Front

What phase occurs after metaphase in mitosis?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is the result of mitosis?

Back

2 genetically identical cells.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, including G1, S, and G2 phases.

Front

What happens during the S phase of interphase?

Back

DNA replication occurs, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate daughter cells.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis?

Back

Mitosis is the division of the nucleus, while cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.
