MITOSIS AND DIFFERENTIATION

Front

What is replication in the context of cell division?

Back

Replication is when the cell makes a copy of its DNA.

Front

Where is genetic material located in a cell?

Back

The genetic material is located in the nucleus.

Front

What must be copied before a cell can divide?

Back

DNA must be copied before a cell can divide.

Front

What does it mean for stem cells to be undifferentiated?

Back

It means they don't have a specific job yet.

Front

What is the process called where one cell forms two identical daughter cells?

Back

The process is called cell division (mitosis).

Front

What is the role of the nucleus in a cell?

Back

The nucleus houses the cell's genetic material (DNA).

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of nuclear division, while cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.

Front

What are daughter cells?

Back

Daughter cells are the two identical cells that result from cell division.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division by replicating its DNA and organelles.

Front

What is the significance of DNA replication?

Back

DNA replication ensures that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the genetic material.
