Mitosis & the Cell Cycle

What is the primary outcome of mitosis?

• Cells with different genetic material

• Cells with half the genetic material

• Cells with genetic material identical to the original cell

• Cells with no genetic material

During which phase of interphase is the cell's DNA copied (synthesized)?

• G1 Phase

• S Phase

• G2 Phase

• Mitosis Phase

What happens during metaphase of mitosis?

What is the correct order of the stages of interphase?

• G1, S, G2

• G2, S, G1

• S, G1, G2

• G1, G2, S

Which event occurs during the G2 phase of interphase?

• Chromosomes become visible

• DNA is copied (synthesized)

• The cell prepares for cell division

• Sister chromatids separate
