Mitosis and Cell Cycle

Front

The cell spends most of its life in ________________.

Back

Interphase

Front

What is the purpose of mitosis?

Back

To allow cells to divide for growth, repair, and renewal.

Front

Put the following stages of the cell cycle in order: G2, S, G1, M.

Back

G1, S, G2, M

Front

Which of these shows the cell cycle phases in their correct order AND correctly paired with their functions?

Back

G1-growth, S-DNA replication, G2-prepare to divide, M-division

Front

Sister chromatids are pulled apart and away from each other during which phase?

Back

Anaphase

Front

Define Interphase.

Back

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell spends most of its life, preparing for division.

Front

What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

DNA replication.

Front

What is the role of G1 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

Cell growth and preparation for DNA synthesis.

Front

What happens during the G2 phase?

Back

The cell prepares for mitosis, checking for DNA damage and ensuring all DNA is replicated.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

The process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.
