Mitosis Cell Cycle

Front

What is the function of cell regulators?

Back

Cell regulators tell the cell when it is ok (or not ok) to divide, give chemical signals to repair errors prior to mitosis, and ensure that no mistakes have been made prior to cell division.

Front

What occurs during mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of nucleic division, where the cell's nucleus divides to form two nuclei.

Front

What are the stages of Interphase in the correct order?

Back

The stages of Interphase in the correct order are G1, S, G2.

Front

True or False: Cells reproduce by a cycle of growing and dividing called the 'cell cycle.'

Back

True.

Front

What happens during Metaphase?

Back

During Metaphase, spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of chromosomes and line them up along the middle of the cell.

Front

What is the purpose of the S phase in Interphase?

Back

The S phase is where DNA replication occurs, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during mitosis by attaching to the centromeres and pulling them apart.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows mitosis, 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 G1 phase?

Back

The G1 phase is the first stage of Interphase where the cell grows and carries out normal functions.
