Cell Cycle and Mitosis

Front

What is the importance of DNA in a cell?

Back

DNA provides the instructions/blueprint for a cell.

Front

What is the result of mitosis?

Back

Mitosis results in the formation of two identical cells with all of the original chromosomes.

Front

What stage of mitosis occurs when chromosomes are aligned in the center of the cell?

Back

Metaphase.

Front

What is the correct order of the stages of the cell cycle?

Back

G1, S, G2, M.

Front

What stage of mitosis is characterized by sister chromatids moving apart?

Back

Anaphase.

Front

What is the function of the G1 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The G1 phase is where the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.

Front

What happens during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the S phase, DNA is replicated.

Front

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

Back

The G2 phase is where the cell prepares for mitosis.

Front

What occurs during prophase of mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of telophase in mitosis?

Back

Telophase is the stage where the chromosomes reach the poles and begin to de-condense, and the nuclear envelope re-forms.
