Cell cycle

Why is the Cell Cycle often represented as a circle?

• Because it is easy to draw

• Because cell cycles has a distinct beginning and end point

• to highlight the checkpoints

• to show that it repeats over and over

In which part of Interphase are the chromosomes replicated?

• G0

• G1

• S

• G2

During which stage of the cell cycle does the nucleus divide?

• interphase

• mitosis

• endocytosis

• cytokinesis

Which statement below desribes the events during G2 of Interphase?

• The cell grows, develops, and makes new proteins

• The DNA replicates to form a new set of identical chromosomes

• The cell grows, makes new organelles, and prepares for mitosis

• the nucleolus disappears and the nuclear envelope disintegrates
