What occurs during the S Phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the S Phase, DNA is replicated.

Front

What does the cell cycle allow an organism to do?

Back

The cell cycle allows an organism to increase its number of cells.

Front

What happens during cytokinesis?

Back

During cytokinesis, the cell divides into 2 new daughter cells.

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

The main phases are Interphase (G1, S, G2) and M Phase (Mitosis and Cytokinesis).

Front

What is the role of mitosis in the cell cycle?

Back

Mitosis is the process where a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells.

Front

What is the G1 phase?

Back

The G1 phase is the first stage of interphase where the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.

Front

What is the G2 phase?

Back

The G2 phase is the second stage of interphase where the cell prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is apoptosis?

Back

Apoptosis is the process of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms.
