Cancer and Cell Cycle

Interphase:

• occupies the majority of the cell cycle

• includes DNA replication

• includes growth of cell

• all are correct

In this phase of the cell cycle, the cell DNA is copied.

• G1

• S

• G2

• mitosis/cytokinesis

In general, the purpose of a checkpoint in the cell cycle is:

• To allow the cell to rest

• To check for any errors

• To signal cell replication

• To signal DNA replication

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

In this phase of the cell cycle, the cell grows bigger.

• G1

• S

• G2

• mitosis/cytokinesis

In this phase of the cell cycle, the cell prepares for cell division.

• G1

• S

• G2

• mitosis/cytokinesis

The cell spends most of it's life in ________________.

• Mitosis

• Cytokinesis

• Interphase

• None of the above

In the S stage of interphase....

• The cell grows

• The nucleus divides

• The cell membrane divides

• The DNA is replicated

• G1, M, G2, C, S

• S, G1, G2, M, C

• G1, G2, S, M, C

• G1, S, G2, M, C
