Cell Cycle, Mitosis, Differentiation, and Virus

Front

What do viruses need to reproduce?

Back

They need a host cell.

Front

What is the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

Preparation for division.

Front

What stage of mitosis is characterized by the separation of sister chromatids?

Back

Telophase.

Front

What holds the replicated sister chromatids together?

Back

Centromere.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The stage of the cell cycle where the rest of the cell divides after mitosis is complete.

Front

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

Back

DNA replication.

Front

What occurs during prophase?

Back

Chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the role of centrioles during mitosis?

Back

They help organize the mitotic spindle.

Front

What happens during metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plate.

Front

What is differentiation in biology?

Back

The process by which cells become specialized in structure and function.
