Mitosis and Cell Cycle REVIEW

Front

What is the stage of the cell cycle during which the nucleus divides?

Back

Mitosis

Front

Why must cells of organisms replicate?

Back

For growth, repair of damaged cells, and replacement of dying cells.

Front

What is the stage of the cell cycle during which the cytoplasm and its contents divide?

Back

Cytokinesis

Front

What are the two identical parts of a chromosome called?

Back

Sister chromatids

Front

What part of the cell cycle divides the cytoplasm of the cell?

Back

Cytokinesis

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 occurs during the Synthesis phase of the cell cycle?

Back

DNA replication occurs, resulting in two identical sets of chromosomes.

Front

What is the role of the centromere in a chromosome?

Back

The centromere is the region where sister chromatids are joined and where spindle fibers attach during cell division.

Front

What is the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The first gap phase where the cell grows and performs normal functions before DNA replication.

Front

What is the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The second gap phase where the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis.
