Biology - Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Where are chromosomes located?

• Located in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells

• Located in the nucleus of prokaryotic cells

• Located in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells

• Located in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells

What is interphase designed to do?

• Allow cells to grow and shrink

• Replicate DNA

• Allow cells to grow

• Check for proper environmental conditions before dividing

• Allow cells to shrink

Cells are taking in nutrients

Proteins are being synthesized

Organelles are duplicated

• G1

• S phase

• G2

Begins after G1 checkpoint

New DNA is replicated

Two DNA copies are made

• G1

• S phase

• G2

Cells grow bigger

Continue to make proteins

Energy is replenished

Stops at G2 checkpoint

• G1

• S phase

• G2

What is the longest stage of the cell cycle called?

• G1 phase

• G2 phase

• S phase

• Mitosis

During what phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?

• G1

• G2

• S phase

During what phase of the cell cycle does the cell grow?

• G1

• G2

• S phase

Which of the following statements is not true of the relationship between cell growth and cell division?

• Cells grow to be large so that more nutrients can enter and exit the cell membrane

• Cells stop growing and divide to stop information overload

• Cells stop growing and divide so demands on DNA are limited

• As cells grow the DNA contained in the nucleus stays the same
