Cell Cycle and Mitosis

What is the cell cycle?

• The cell cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication into two daughter cells.

• The cell cycle is the process by which cells merge together to form larger structures.

• The cell cycle is the movement of cells within an organism.

• The cell cycle is the process by which cells die and are eliminated from the body.

What is mitosis?

• Mitosis is a process of cell fusion.

• Mitosis is a process of cell division.

• Mitosis is a process of cell growth.

• Mitosis is a process of cell death.

What is cell division?

• The process by which a daughter cell divides into two or more parent cells

• The process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells

• The process by which a parent cell combines with another cell to form a daughter cell

• The process by which a parent cell divides into three or more daughter cells

What are chromosomes?

• Thread-like structures made of DNA and proteins that carry genetic information.

• Tiny organisms that live in the ocean.

• Chemical compounds that make up the cell membrane.

• Structures in the cell that produce energy.

What is cell replication?

• The process by which a cell transforms into a different type of cell.

• The process by which a cell divides into two identical daughter cells.

• The process by which a cell combines with another cell to form a new cell.

• The process by which a cell divides into three identical daughter cells.

During which phase of the cell cycle does DNA replication occur?

• G1 phase

• G2 phase

• M phase

• S phase

What is the purpose of cell division?

• To allow organisms to grow, repair damaged tissues, and reproduce.

• To cause organisms to shrink, damage tissues further, and prevent reproduction.

• To slow down the growth of organisms, repair healthy tissues, and prevent reproduction.

• To prevent organisms from growing, repairing damaged tissues, and reproducing.

What happens during prophase of mitosis?

• The cell divides into two daughter cells.

• The chromosomes align at the center of the cell.

• The nuclear membrane reforms around the chromosomes.

• The chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear membrane breaks down, and the spindle fibers begin to form.

What is cytokinesis?

• The process of dividing the nucleus of a cell into two daughter cells.

• The process of dividing the cytoplasm of a cell into two daughter cells after nuclear division.

• The process of combining the cytoplasm of two cells into one daughter cell.

• The process of dividing the cell membrane into two daughter cells.

What is the end result of mitosis?

• Formation of four genetically identical daughter cells

• Formation of two genetically identical daughter cells

• Formation of two genetically different daughter cells

• Formation of one genetically identical daughter cell
