What is a nucleotide?

Back

The basic building block of DNA, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

Why does DNA replicate?

Back

To create another copy for the new cell.

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis.

Front

What occurs during interphase?

Back

Cell growth, DNA replication, and preparation for mitosis.

Front

What is the role of microtubules during mitosis?

Back

They help in the separation of chromosomes.

Front

What happens during anaphase?

Back

Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

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

Back

It is the first gap phase where the cell grows and prepares for DNA synthesis.
