Cell Cycle and Mitosis

Front

What are the stages of mitosis in order?

Back

prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

Front

What is the complementary DNA strand for ATG TGA CAG?

Back

TAC ACT GTC

Front

If a DNA molecule consists of 29% Guanine, what percentage of Cytosine will it contain?

Back

29% (due to base pairing rules: Guanine pairs with Cytosine)

Front

What is the shape of DNA?

Back

Double helix

Front

What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

DNA is replicated

Front

What is the function of mitosis?

Back

To produce two identical daughter cells for growth and repair.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

To help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical cells; meiosis results in four genetically diverse gametes.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, including G1, S, and G2 phases.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.
