5AC Cell Cycle and Cancer

Front

What are the stages of mitosis in order?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Front

During which phase of the cell cycle does the cell spend the most time?

Back

Interphase

Front

During which parts of the cell cycle does the cell grow?

Back

G1 and G2 phases

Front

What phase of mitosis is characterized by the alignment of chromosomes at the cell's equator?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What phase of mitosis involves the separation of sister chromatids?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is the final stage of mitosis where the cell divides into two daughter cells?

Back

Telophase

Front

What is interphase and what are its sub-phases?

Back

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

Front

What occurs during the G1 phase of interphase?

Back

The cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

What occurs during the S phase of interphase?

Back

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

Front

What occurs during the G2 phase of interphase?

Back

The cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis.
