The Cell Cycle

Front

What is the longest part of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle, where the cell grows and prepares for division.

Front

During which phase of mitosis do chromosomes begin to pull apart?

Back

Anaphase is the phase of mitosis where the chromosomes begin to pull apart.

Front

What is the correct order of the stages of mitosis?

Back

The correct order of the stages of mitosis is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

In which part of the cell cycle do chromosomes replicate?

Back

Chromosomes replicate during Interphase, preparing for cell division.

Front

What part of the cell cycle is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the final stage of the cell cycle where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two daughter cells.

Front

What happens during Prophase?

Back

During Prophase, the chromosomes condense and become visible, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the role of Metaphase in mitosis?

Back

In Metaphase, chromosomes line up at the cell's equator, preparing for separation.

Front

What occurs during Telophase?

Back

During Telophase, the chromosomes reach the poles, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.

Front

What is the purpose of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is essential for growth, development, and repair in organisms, allowing cells to divide and reproduce.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of nuclear division, while cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.
