Match each definition to the correct vocabulary word.

• cell division

• division of a cell's nucleus

• checkpoint

• a stage in the cell cycle when the cell checks for damaged DNA

• chromosome

• the process a cell uses to split into 2 cells

• mitosis

• structure made of proteins and DNA that keeps DNA organized

Match the correct phases of the Cell Cycle to their description

• The cell grows.

• G0

• The cell grows and prepares for mitosis.

• S

• Where the cell spends 90% of its time.

• G2

• The cell is just doing its job.

• Interphase

• DNA is replicated.

• G1

The cell cycle is ______________.

• the process of splitting the organelles

• a process where one cell gets energy

• the sequence of stages of growth and division that a cell undergoes

Identify the Cell Cycle Stage.

• Prophase

• Interphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase
