Cell Cycle Review

Front

What are the stages of the cell cycle in order?

Back

G1, S, G2, Mitosis, Cytokinesis

Front

During which stage of the cell cycle does mitosis and cytokinesis occur?

Back

M phase

Front

What is cancer?

Back

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

Front

What is the longest stage of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.

Front

What happens during the G1 phase?

Back

During the G1 phase, the cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

What occurs during the S phase?

Back

During the S phase, DNA is replicated, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.

Front

What is the role of mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What is interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell spends most of its time preparing for division.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis?

Back

Mitosis is the division of the nucleus, while cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.
