Cell Cycle

What phase of mitosis is characterized by the separation of sister chromatids?

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

What is the significance of the S phase in the cell cycle?

• It is when DNA is replicated.

• It is when the cell divides into two daughter cells.

• It is when the cell grows and prepares for division.

• It is when the cell undergoes apoptosis.

What is a daughter cell?

• A cell that is produced as a result of cell division.

• A cell that is formed during apoptosis.

• A cell that has undergone differentiation.

• A cell that is involved in the immune response.

What occurs during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

• Cell division and cytokinesis.

• Cell growth and preparation for DNA replication.

• DNA replication and repair.

• Chromosome segregation.

Which phase of the cell cycle is NOT a part of mitosis?

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Interphase

• Anaphase

What is the phase of mitosis where chromosomes align in the center of the cell?

• Anaphase

• Telophase

• Metaphase

• Prophase

During which part of the cell cycle is DNA copied?

• G1 phase

• S phase

• G2 phase

• M phase

What is the role of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

• To ensure that the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase.

• To promote cell division at all costs.

• To prevent DNA replication from occurring.

• To initiate apoptosis in damaged cells.

What is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis?

• To help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

• To replicate the DNA before cell division.

• To provide structural support to the cell membrane.

• To transport nutrients to the daughter cells.

What is the final phase of mitosis where the cell divides into two?

• Anaphase

• Metaphase

• Telophase

• Prophase
