Cell Cycle Vocabulary

What is replication?

• The process of cell death

• The process by which a parent cell duplicates its DNA and splits into 2 identical daughter cells

• The process of energy production

• The process of protein synthesis

What are sister chromatids?

• Different chromosomes in a cell

• Identical copies of a chromosome that are joined by a centromere

• Proteins that repair DNA

• Enzymes that break down DNA

What happens during interphase?

• The cell divides

• The cell is in a resting or working stage where DNA is replicated

• The cell dies

• The chromosomes become visible, the nucleus disappears, and spindles form

• The cell dies
