8.1 Cell Cycle Flashcards
1
Q
Cells do not divide all the time - they are mostly…
A
Growing and carrying out their functions
2
Q
The time when cells are not dividing but are active in carrying out their functions is called…
A
Interphase
3
Q
During interphase:
A
Proteins are made
Cell organelles are replicated
Respiration occurs
4
Q
DNA replication also occurs during interphase specifically the…
A
S or synthesis phase
5
Q
S phase happened between two growth phases:
A
G1
G2
6
Q
G1 =
A
cell grows (period of cell growth before the DNA is replicated)
7
Q
S=
A
DNA replication (period when DNA is duplicated - when chromosomes are duplicated)
8
Q
G2:
A
Prepare to divide
9
Q
M=
A
Mitosis
10
Q
Interphase:
A
The nucleolus and the nuclear envelope are distinct and the chromosomes are in the form of threadlike chromatin
