Cell Cycle

Front

What is the purpose of DNA replication before cell division?

Back

To ensure that genetic information is transferred into daughter cells.

Front

During which phase of the cell cycle does the cell grow?

Back

G1 phase.

Front

What phases occur during Interphase?

Back

G1, S, and G2 phases.

Front

What is the role of the G2 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The cell prepares for mitosis.

Front

How many stages are there in mitosis?

Back

4 stages.

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication.

Front

What happens during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

DNA is replicated.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse gametes.

Front

What is the significance of the G1 phase?

Back

It is the first growth phase where the cell increases in size and synthesizes proteins.
