Cell Cycle and Mitosis Review

In this phase of Interphase, the cell grows and carries out normal functions.

• G1

• S

• G2

• M phase

Cells go through additional growth and prepare for division.

• G1

• S

• G2

• M phase

Cells undergo cell division, which involves both mitosis and cytokinesis.

• G1

• S

• G2

• M phase

Cells replicate their DNA during which stage of Interphase?

• G1

• S

• G2

• M phase

What two processes make up the M stage?

• fermentation & mitosis

• mitosis & cytokinesis

• glycolysis & cytokinesis

• G1 & G2

Some scientists name the stage where cells carry out their normal functions but are unlikely to divide. The name they give this stage is _________.

• G0

• G1

• G2

• G3

The word “cycle” in cell cycle refers to the _____ of growth, DNA duplication, and cell division that occurs in eukaryotic cells.

• repetition

• randomness

• rapidness

• retention

The word cytokinesis has the prefix cyto- that refers to a cell and the suffix -kinesis that refers to division or movement. Therefore, cytokinesis is the process where a cell’s cytoplasm _____.

• divides

• multiplies

• increases

• evaporates

A(n) _____ is a stage in the eukaryotic cell cycle at which the cell examines internal and external cues and "decides" whether or not to move forward with division.

• checkpoint

• chromosome

• interphase

• tumor

programmed cell death = _____

• apoptosis

• cancer

• spindle

• cytokinesis
