What does NOT happen during interphase?

Back

Cell division

Front

Which of the following is not a checkpoint in the cell cycle?

Back

G0 checkpoint

Front

What is the name of the stage where cells carry out their normal functions but are unlikely to divide?

Back

G0

Front

In anaphase of mitosis, what happens to the chromosomes?

Back

They are pulled toward opposite ends of the cell.

Front

What is the primary purpose of mitosis?

Back

To divide a single cell into two identical daughter cells.

Front

What phase follows G1 in the cell cycle?

Back

S phase (Synthesis phase)

Front

What occurs during the S phase of interphase?

Back

DNA replication takes place.

Front

What is the role of the centromere during cell division?

Back

It holds sister chromatids together and is the attachment point for spindle fibers.

Front

What is the function of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

To ensure that the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase.
