Cell Cycle

Front

What are the main stages of mitosis?

Back

The main stages of mitosis are: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is a series of events that a cell goes through as it grows and divides.

Front

What happens during the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the G2 phase, the cell prepares for mitosis by producing proteins and organelles.

Front

What is the correct order of events in the cell cycle?

Back

1. Cell grows 2. DNA replicates 3. Cell prepares for mitosis 4. Cell divides.

Front

Why is DNA replication important before cell division?

Back

DNA replication is important to ensure that genetic information is accurately transferred to daughter cells.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.

Front

What occurs during prophase?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes and pull them to opposite ends of the cell during mitosis.

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 significance of the S phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The S phase is significant because it is when DNA replication occurs, ensuring each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.
