Cell Cycle

Front

What is the longest phase of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle, where the cell spends most of its life.

Front

What happens during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the S phase, DNA is replicated, resulting in two identical sets of chromosomes.

Front

How do plant cells divide compared to animal cells?

Back

Plant cells divide by forming a cell plate, while animal cells divide by forming a cleavage furrow.

Front

What is the primary function of the G1 phase?

Back

The primary function of the G1 phase is cell growth and development.

Front

What is one process that does NOT occur during interphase?

Back

Cell division does not occur during interphase.

Front

What are the three main stages of the cell cycle?

Back

The three main stages of the cell cycle are Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis.

Front

What is the role of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

Checkpoints in the cell cycle ensure that the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase, preventing errors.

Front

What occurs during the G2 phase?

Back

During the G2 phase, the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the final step of cell division, where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.
