Cell Cycle Review

Front

What is the outcome of mitosis in terms of the resulting cells?

Back

The two resulting cells are identical to the starting cell and identical to each other.

Front

What phase of the cell cycle is represented by the number 4?

Back

Telophase

Front

During which phase of the cell cycle does the cell prepare for mitosis?

Back

G2 phase

Front

What is the phase in mitosis where chromosomes are pulled apart by spindles?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is the name of the phase in which chromosomes align in the center of the cell?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What are the three main stages of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis.

Front

What occurs during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

What happens during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

DNA replication occurs, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.

Front

What is the purpose of the G2 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis by producing necessary proteins and organelles.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes and pull them to opposite sides of the cell.
