Cell Cycle and DNA Replication Review

Front

What is the phase of the cell cycle where chromosomes are separated and pulled to opposite sides?

Back

Anaphase

Front

Which phase of the cell cycle is characterized by the cell growing and preparing for division?

Back

Interphase

Front

What is the result of DNA replication?

Back

Each DNA molecule consists of one new strand and one original strand.

Front

Which process does NOT occur during mitosis?

Back

DNA is replicated (this occurs during the S phase).

Front

What phase involves the alignment of chromosomes at the cell's equator?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What is the phase of the cell cycle where the nuclear envelope re-forms and chromosomes de-condense?

Back

Telophase

Front

What is the main purpose of the cell cycle?

Back

To ensure proper cell division and replication.

Front

What are sister chromatids?

Back

Identical copies of a chromosome connected by a centromere.

Front

What happens during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

DNA replication occurs.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two daughter cells.
