Cell Cycle, Mitosis, Meiosis, and Cellular Respiration Quiz

What happens during the G₁ phase of the cell cycle?

• The cell grows, makes proteins, and carries out normal functions.

• DNA is copied to form sister chromatids.

• The cell prepares for mitosis by making organelles.

• Chromosomes condense and become visible.

Which phase of the cell cycle involves DNA replication?

• G₂ phase

• S phase

• G₁ phase

• Prophase

What is the main event during the G₂ phase?

• The nuclear membrane breaks down.

• Chromosomes condense.

• The cell grows and prepares for mitosis.

• DNA is copied.
