1. Phases of Cell Cycle Flashcards
Topic - Introduction
All organisms, even the largest, start their life from a single cell.
T/F
True
The growth and reproduction of all organisms depend on the division and enlargement of cells.
T/F
True
The mechanisms of division and multiplication of cells together constitute ______.
Cell reproduction
These newly formed daughter cells can grow and divide, giving rise to a new cell population.
T/F
True
Topic - Cell Cycle
It is the life period of a cell during which a cell synthesizes DNA (replication), grows & divides into two daughter cells.
T/F
True
Cell growth (Increase of ______) is a continuous process, but DNA synthesis occurs only at a specific stage.
Cytoplasm
The sequence of events takes place in a coordinated way to ensure correct division and formation of progeny cells with intact genomes.
T/F
True
These events are themselves under genetic control.
T/F
True
The cell cycle duration varies in each organism and cell type. Example.
I. A typical Eukaryotic cell (Human cell) -
II. Yeasts -
III. Bacteria E.coli -
I. 24 hours
II. 90 minutes
III. 20 minutes
Phases of Cell Cycle:
I. Interphase (Resting Phase)
II. M-phase (Mitosis Phase)
Topic - Interphase (Resting Phase)
It is the phase between two successive M phases.
T/F
True
It includes cell growth and DNA synthesis.
T/F
True
