DNA and Cell Cycle Practice

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

The main phases of the cell cycle are Interphase (G1, S, G2) and Mitosis (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase).

Front

What is Interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, including DNA replication.

Front

What happens during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the S phase, the cell duplicates its DNA, resulting in two identical sets of chromosomes.

Front

What is Mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the final step of cell division where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.

Front

Which nitrogenous base pairs with Guanine?

Back

Cytosine pairs with Guanine.

Front

What is the role of Thymine in DNA?

Back

Thymine is one of the four nitrogenous bases in DNA and pairs with Adenine.

Front

What occurs during Prophase?

Back

During Prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is Metaphase?

Back

Metaphase is the stage of mitosis where chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.

Front

What happens during Anaphase?

Back

During Anaphase, sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
