1. Grow,
2. Copy DNA,
3. Split
1. Grow,
2. Reorganize,
3. Delete extra DNA
1. Maintain homeostasis
2. Shrink smaller
3. Delete unimportant parts of DNA
1. Grow
2. Shrink
3. Repeat
What are the TWO MAJOR phases of the cell cycle?
G1 and G2
S phase and Mitosis
Interphase and Mitosis
Cytokinesis and Prophase
What happens in G1 phase of the cell cycle?
the cell grows physically larger and copies all of its organelles
DNA replication
Chromosomes line up in the middle
Cell splits in half
During the S phase, the cell makes a complete copy of the (a) in its nucleus
Which phase is known as the second growth phase?
G1
S
G2
Interphase
Which phase is NOT considered part of interphase?
G1
Prophase
G2
S
What is the overall goal of mitosis?
to make sure that each daughter cell gets a perfect, full set of chromosomes (DNA)
to make sure each daughter cell only gets the part of the DNA it needs
to make sure each daughter cell is unique
to make sure each daughter cell is unlike any other
In which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes start to change from noodle shape to X shape?
Metaphase
Prophase
Anaphase
Telophase
In which phase of the cell cycle do all the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and attach to spindle fibers?
prophase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase
During which phase of the cell cycle do the spindle fibers begin to pull the chromosomes apart?
prophase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase
During which phase of the cell cycle do the two daughter cells begin to stretch and pull apart?
prophase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase
During which phase of mitosis does the final separation of the two new cells occur?
prophase
telophase
cytokinesis
metaphase
After cytokinesis ends, what phase do the two new daughter cells start?
G1
S
G2
Prophase
