Episode 6: The Cell Cycle

It is an ordered series of events involving cell growth and cell division.

• Cell Cycle

• Karyokinesis

• Cell Division

• Cytokinesis

How many genetically identical (clone) cells are produced by the cell cycle?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

In this phase, the cell undergoes normal growth processes while preparing for cell division.

• Metaphase

• Mitotic Phase

• Interphase

This is called the "first gap" because little change is visible.

• S Phase

• G1 Phase

• M Phase

• G2 Phase

Centrioles are present in the centrosomes of plants and most fungi.

• True

• False

The final preparations before entering the mitotic phase are completed in this phase.

• S Phase

• G1 Phase

• M Phase

• G2 Phase

In this portion of the mitotic phase, the physical separation of cytoplasmic components into two daughter cells takes place.

• Karyokinesis

• Cytokinesis

Which phase of the cell cycle has the longest duration?

• G1 Phase

• S Phase

• G2 Phase

• M Phase

Do all cells divide the same way?

• Yes

• No

Cancer cells follow signals that tell cells to stop dividing or to die.

• True

• False
