Cell Cycle

Front

What is the longest stage of the cell cycle called?

Back

Interphase is the longest stage of the cell cycle, where the cell grows and prepares for division.

Front

What does DNA Replication mean?

Back

DNA Replication is the process by which DNA copies itself to ensure that each new cell has the same genetic information.

Front

What is a series of events a cell goes through as they grow and divide?

Back

The Cell Cycle is the series of events that a cell goes through as it grows and divides.

Front

What phase is a cell in during Telophase?

Back

During Telophase, the chromosomes have separated and are at opposite ends of the cell, and the nuclear membrane begins to reform.

Front

What part of the cell cycle occurs after Mitosis?

Back

Cytokinesis occurs after Mitosis, where the cell's cytoplasm divides, resulting in two daughter cells.

Front

What is the first phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The first phase of the cell cycle is Interphase, which includes G1, S, and G2 phases.

Front

What happens during the S phase of Interphase?

Back

During the S phase of Interphase, DNA is replicated, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.

Front

What is the role of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

Checkpoints in the cell cycle are mechanisms that ensure the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase, preventing errors.

Front

What is Mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

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.
