Cell Cycle

Cells spend the majority of their lives in

• Interphase
• Mitosis
• Synthesis 
• Gap 2

DNA is replicated during ______ of the cell cycle.

• Gap 1

• Synthesis (S phase)

• Gap 2

• Gap 0

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. 

Put the following stages of the cell cycle in order: G2, S, G1, M. 

• G1, S, G2, M
• S, G1, G2, M
• G1, M, G2, S
• M, G1, S, G2

In what organelle is the genetic material found inside?
 

• Endoplasmic Reticulum
• Golgi Complex
• Protein

• Nucleus

Why is it so important to replicate DNA?

• so that each daughter cell is unique

• to release energy

• to make sure that the daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cells

• all of the above

During which parts of the cell cycle does the cell grow?

• G1 and G2
• G1 and S
• M phase and cytokinesis
