1st Semester Review Part 2 Cell Cycle Mitosis Cancer

Front

What is the structure that holds two chromosomes together until they separate for cell division?

Back

Centromere

Front

During which part of the cell cycle does the cell divide?

Back

Mitosis

Front

What is the correct order for the phases of the cell cycle?

Back

G1, S, G2, M, C

Front

What happens during the S stage of interphase?

Back

The DNA is replicated.

Front

Which phase of mitosis is characterized by chromosomes lining up in the middle of the cell?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What is the main purpose of the cell cycle?

Back

To ensure proper cell growth, DNA replication, and division.

Front

What are the two main stages of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase and Mitosis.

Front

What occurs during Interphase?

Back

The cell grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for division.

Front

What is the role of chromatin in the cell?

Back

Chromatin is the material that makes up chromosomes, consisting of DNA and proteins.

Front

What is cancer in terms of cell cycle regulation?

Back

Cancer is the uncontrolled growth and division of cells due to mutations in genes that regulate the cell cycle.
