Front

What is the main purpose of the cell cycle?

Back

To ensure proper cell growth, DNA replication, and division.

Front

What are the three main stages of the cell cycle?

Front

What happens during G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

What is the role of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

To monitor and regulate the progression of the cell cycle, ensuring proper division.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

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