Cell Cycle Review

Front

A pair of similar chromosomes are called:

Back

Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes that are similar in shape, size, and genetic content.

Front

During what phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?

Back

DNA is replicated during the S phase (Synthesis phase) of the cell cycle.

Front

What can the cell cycle also be called?

Back

The cell cycle can also be referred to as Cell Division.

Front

The final stage of the cell cycle is called:

Back

The final stage of the cell cycle is called Cytokinesis, where the cell divides into two daughter cells.

Front

_____ is the uncontrolled growth of cells, often resulting in a tumor or mass of abnormal cells.

Back

Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells that can lead to tumors.

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

The main phases of the cell cycle are Interphase (G1, S, G2) and the Mitotic phase (M phase).

Front

What occurs during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the G1 phase, the cell grows and carries out normal functions, preparing for DNA replication.

Front

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

Back

The S phase is responsible for DNA replication, where each chromosome is duplicated.

Front

What happens during the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the G2 phase, the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis, checking for DNA damage.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.
