Cell Cycle Revision

Front

What are stem cells used for?

Back

Stem cells are used to grow different types of tissues.

Front

What phase of mitosis is characterized by the separation of sister chromatids?

Back

Anaphase.

Front

What is the main difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells?

Back

Embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more cell types than adult stem cells.

Front

How do plant cells differ from animal cells in the cell cycle?

Back

Plant cells create a cell plate since they are very rigid.

Front

How do bacteria reproduce?

Back

Bacteria reproduce using binary fission.

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication.

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

The main phases are Interphase (G1, S, G2) and Mitosis.

Front

What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the S phase, DNA is replicated.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

Checkpoints ensure that the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase of the cycle.
