Cell Cycle

What is a series of events a cell goes through as they grow and divide?

• Cell Division
• Cell Cycle
• Cytokinesis
• Mitosis

During what stage does the G₁, S and G₂ phases happen?

• Interphase
• M phase
• Mitosis
• Cytokinesis

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

• Interphase
• S phase
• M phase
• G1 phase

During what phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?

• G1 phase
• S phase
• G2 phase
• M phase

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

• G1 phase
• S phase
• M phase
• Cytokinesis

How many stages are in mitosis?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

Put the following stages of mitosis in order: anaphase, prophase, metaphase, and telophase. 

• prophase, metaphase, telophase, anaphase
• prophase, anaphase, metaphase, telophase
• prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
• prophase, telophase, metaphase, anaphase

Put the following actions in order: DNA replicates, cell grows, cell divides, cell prepares for mitosis. 

• DNA replicates, cell grows, cell prepares for mitosis, cell divides
• cell grows, cell prepares for mitosis, DNA replicates, cell divides
• cell grows, DNA replicates, cell prepares for mitosis, cell divides
• DNA replicates, cell prepares for mitosis, cell grows, cell divides

Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?

• In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.
• In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.
• In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.
• In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells.

What is the cell cycle?

• The gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form.
• The study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.
• The branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.
• The series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA to produce two daughter cells.
