Unit 03 - Cell Cycle

Front

What phase of the cell cycle is responsible for DNA replication?

Back

S phase

Front

What is the first checkpoint of the cell cycle?

Back

G1 checkpoint

Front

What is the end result of the cell cycle?

Back

2 identical daughter cells

Front

What occurs during G2 of Interphase?

Back

The cell grows, makes new organelles, and prepares for mitosis.

Front

Which stage of the cell cycle is most critical for ensuring identical daughter cells?

Back

S phase

Front

What is the purpose of the G1 checkpoint?

Back

To assess cell size, nutrients, and DNA integrity before entering S phase.

Front

What happens during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

DNA is replicated to form identical chromosomes.

Front

What is the role of the Mitosis checkpoint?

Back

To ensure that all chromosomes are properly attached to the spindle before mitosis proceeds.

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

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

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.
