The Cell Cycle

What does NOT happen during interphase?

• growth
• DNA replication 
• obtaining nutrients
• cell divison

Cytokinesis is a phase of mitosis. 

• True
• False 

Cells spend the majority of their lives in

• Interphase
• Mitosis
• Synthesis 
• Gap 2

What occurs during G1?

• Checkpoint after S phase
• Chromosomes line up at the equator.
• The cell grows and develops.
• Spindle fibers separate chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell. 

True or False:
Normal cells grow and divide continuously.

• True
• False

(A) the time in-between divisions (90% of the cell cycle)

• interphase

• mitotic phase

• mitosis

• cytokinesis

(E) the time when the cell is going through cell division is known as:

• G1

• Interphase

• Mitotic Phase

• S

(B) when the cell is growing and performing its metabolism (aka its job)

• G1

• G2

• G3

• S

(F) When the nucleus is dividing

• Cytokinesis

• Interphase

• Mitosis

• S

(C) When the cell is making a copy of its DNA (aka, duplicating the chromosomes)

• Mitosis

• G1

• G2

• S
