Cell Cycle and Mitosis Concepts

What are the three main stages of the cell cycle?

• Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis

• Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase

• Interphase, Prophase, Telophase

• Mitosis, Cytokinesis, Meiosis

During which stage of the cell cycle does the cell spend most of its time growing and copying its DNA?

• Interphase

• Mitosis

• Cytokinesis

• Anaphase

What happens during mitosis?

• The nucleus divides into two identical nuclei

• The cytoplasm splits

• The cell grows and copies its DNA

• The cell dies

Why is the cell cycle crucial for life?

• It ensures new cells are formed to replace old or damaged ones

• It allows cells to die

• It prevents cells from growing

• It stops cells from dividing

What is the final stage of the cell cycle where the cytoplasm splits?

• Cytokinesis

• Mitosis

• Interphase

• Prophase
