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

• Interphase

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

What happens during Metaphase?

• Chromosomes condense as sister chromatids and align along the equator of the cell. 

  
  

• A new copy of DNA is synthesized in the nucleus

• The cell divides into two identical daughter cells

•   Microtubles connect to the centromere of chromosomes to the centrosomes

  
  

• The nuclear envelope reforms

What happens during Prophase of the cell cycle?

• DNA condenses

• Nuclear envelope dissolves

• Centrosomes move to cell poles

• All of the above

What is the function of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

• Check for sister chromatids

• Check for DNA condensation

• Check to see if cell should move forward with cellular division

• Check for nuclear envelope reformation
