Cell Cycle and Cancer Retest

Front

What is the correct order of the phases of Mitosis?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

Front

Which phase of Mitosis involves the chromosomes lining up in the middle of the cell?

Back

Metaphase.

Front

What is the main event that occurs during Anaphase?

Back

Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell.

Front

What is the role of the spindle fibers during Mitosis?

Back

They help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What happens during Telophase?

Back

The chromosomes begin to de-condense, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.

Front

During which stage of the cell cycle does DNA replication occur?

Back

S Phase.

Front

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

Back

The cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.

Front

What is the significance of the G2 phase?

Back

The cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

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

Front

What is cancer in relation to the cell cycle?

Back

Cancer is the uncontrolled division of cells due to mutations in genes that regulate the cell cycle.
