Biology 5.3 (Assessment)

Front

What is the G1 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The G1 phase is the first stage of interphase where the cell grows and performs its normal functions.

Front

What is the main purpose of the G1 phase?

Back

The main purpose of the G1 phase is cell growth and normal functions.

Front

What role does DNA helicase play in DNA replication?

Back

DNA helicase unwinds the DNA double helix, separating the two strands.

Front

What occurs during the G2 phase of interphase?

Back

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

Front

What happens during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the S phase, DNA replication occurs, resulting in two identical copies of DNA.

Front

What is DNA polymerase's function in DNA replication?

Back

DNA polymerase adds complementary bases to the growing DNA strand during replication.

Front

What happens after DNA replication is complete?

Back

After DNA replication, two DNA strands exactly like the original are formed.

Front

What is the significance of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is crucial for growth, development, and repair in living organisms.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, consisting of G1, S, and G2 phases.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.
