Front

What occurs during the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell checks for DNA errors and prepares for mitosis.

What happens during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What is the significance of DNA replication?

Back

DNA replication ensures that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.

Front

What is the difference between haploid and diploid cells?

Back

Haploid cells have one set of chromosomes, while diploid cells have two sets.

Front

What is the purpose of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle regulates cell growth, DNA replication, and cell division.

Front

What occurs during metaphase of mitosis?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.
