During which phase of the cell cycle are the chromosomes replicated (copied)?

• G1 phase

• S phase

• G2 phase

• M phase

What is the significance of the S phase in the cell cycle?

• It is when the cell divides into two new cells.

• It is when the cell grows in size.

• It is when DNA is being made in the nucleus of the cell.

• It is when the cell prepares for cell division.

In which phase of mitosis do you see the spindle fibers forming?

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase
