Interphase & Checkpoints

What does NOT happen during interphase?

• growth
• DNA replication 
• obtaining nutrients
• cell divison

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. 

During most of interphase, DNA is found in a relaxed form called

• chromosome

• centromere

• centriole

• chromatin

When cells go through mitosis repeatedly without entering interphase, this results

• arthritis

• cancer

• mutation

• diabetes
