FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What occurs during interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division. It includes G1 (cell growth), S (DNA replication), and G2 (preparation for mitosis).

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Define mitosis.

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

What is apoptosis?

Back

Apoptosis is the process of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms, allowing for the removal of unnecessary or damaged cells.

What happens during prophase?

Back

During prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and the mitotic spindle begins to form.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Identify the phase where chromosomes align at the cell's equator.

Back

Metaphase is the phase where chromosomes align at the cell's equator, preparing for separation.

What is the role of the centromere?

Back

The centromere is the region of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids are joined together and where the spindle fibers attach during mitosis.
