1
Q
What is the order of stages in the cell cycle?
A
G1 -> S phase -> G2
Mitosis
2
Q
What are the 3 parts to interphase?
A
G1
S phase
G2
3
Q
What happens in the G1 phase?
A
cells prepare for DNA replication
growth of cell
growth or organelles increase in the number of organelles
protein synthesis
4
Q
What happens in the S phase?
A
DNA replication occurs
5
Q
Why does the S phase have to happen?
A
so that the daughter cells can have the same/identical DNA and a full copy of DNA
6
Q
What happens in the G2 phase?
A
short gap before mitosis
cell growth
organelle growth
inc in number of organelles
protein synthesis
spindle can begin to form
7
Q

A
mitosis
8
