EOC Blitz Review - Reproduction (Cell Cycle/Mitosis/Meiosis)

Front

What is meiosis?

Back

Meiosis is a form of sexual reproduction that produces daughter cells with genetic information that is different from the parent cell.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction that produces daughter cells with genetic information that is identical to the parent cell.

Front

What are homologous chromosomes?

Back

Chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes and the same structure.

Front

How does cancer affect the cell cycle?

Back

Cancer causes uncontrolled cell division by bypassing cell cycle checkpoints.

Front

What is the correct order of the phases of the cell cycle?

Back

G1, S, G2, M, C.

Front

What happens during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

DNA replication occurs, resulting in two sister chromatids for each chromosome.

Front

What is the role of the G2 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis, checking for DNA damage.

Front

What is the M phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The M phase is where mitosis occurs, leading to the division of the cell's nucleus.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

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