Mitosis and Cell Cycle

Front

What is the function of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material (DNA) and controls cellular activities.

Front

List the stages of the cell cycle in order.

Back

G1, S, G2, M.

Front

What occurs during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell grows and carries out normal functions.

Front

What is the significance of the S phase in the cell cycle?

Back

DNA is replicated during the S phase.

Front

What happens during the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell prepares for mitosis, including the synthesis of proteins and organelles.

Front

Define mitosis.

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.

Front

What are the main stages of mitosis?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells.
