Cells undergo cell division, which involves both mitosis and cytokinesis.

Cells replicate DNA.

The G in G₁ and G₂ stands for _____.

Cells must pass through a critical checkpoint during which stages of the cell cycle?

Where does DNA synthesis happen in eukaryotic cells?

What two processes make up the M stage?

Some scientists name the stage where cells carry out their normal functions but are unlikely to divide. The name they give this stage is _________.

To stay alive, a cell needs materials to move in and out across its membrane. As a cell grows bigger, its volume increases _____ than its surface area. At a certain point, the cell’s volume would be _____ compared to the area available for materials to move in and out.

The rate at which a particular type of cell divides is linked to the body’s need for that cell type. Skin cells are typically exposed to more damaging conditions than are liver cells. Skin cells must be replaced more often than liver cells. Therefore, which of these statements is true?

The word “cycle” in cell cycle refers to the _____ of growth, DNA duplication, and cell division that occurs in eukaryotic cells.

The word cytokinesis has the prefix cyto- that refers to a cell and the suffix -kinesis that refers to division or movement. Therefore, cytokinesis is the process where a cell’s cytoplasm _____.

A(n) _____ is a stage in the eukaryotic cell cycle at which the cell examines internal and external cues and "decides" whether or not to move forward with division.

Which one is not a checkpoint?

Checks for cell size, nutrients, growth factors, and DNA damage.

Checks for DNA damage and DNA replication completeness.

Checks for chromosome attachment to the spindle at the metaphase plate.

programmed cell death = _____

uncontrolled cell growth = _____

What stage of the cell cycle is this?
