Front

What is the least efficient option in a given scenario?

Back

D

Front

What does NOT happen during interphase?

Back

Cell division

Front

What occurs during G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell grows and develops.

Front

What is the result of cells going through mitosis repeatedly without entering interphase?

Back

Cancer

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase (G1, S, G2) and Mitosis (M phase)

Front

What is the purpose of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

To ensure proper cell division and prevent errors.

Front

What happens during the G2 phase?

Back

The cell prepares for mitosis by checking for DNA damage and duplicating organelles.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

To separate chromosomes and pull them to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows, replicates DNA, and prepares for division.
