Cell Cycle

Front

Which part of the Cell Cycle takes the longest?

Back

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

Front

G1, S, G2 are all part of what stage of the cell cycle?

Back

These phases are all part of Interphase, which is the stage where the cell prepares for mitosis.

Front

What are the 3 main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

The three main phases of the cell cycle are Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis.

Front

What is the structure that holds the 2 chromatids together to make a chromosome?

Back

The structure is called the Centromere.

Front

What is one of the 2 identical strands of the chromosome?

Back

One of the 2 identical strands is called a Sister Chromatid.

Front

What is the purpose of Interphase in the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase is crucial for cell growth, DNA replication, and preparation for mitosis.

Front

What occurs during the S phase of Interphase?

Back

During the S phase, DNA is replicated, 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 are the stages of Mitosis?

Back

The stages of Mitosis are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

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