1
Q
What are the 3 stages of the cell cycle
A
- interphase
- cell diffusion
- cytokinesis
2
Q
What happens in interphase
A
- Organelles double
- cells growth & DNA replicates
3
Q
3 stages of interphase
A
G1 = growth S = DNA synthesis G2 = growth/preparations for mitosis
4
Q
How does G2 prepare for mitosis
A
- they error check when DNA replicates it’s checked for mutations if mutations are detected the cell is destroyed
5
Q
What happens at nuclear division
A
- mitosis
- meiosis
6
Q
What happens at cytokinesis
A
Division of the cytoplasm to create 2 new identical daughter cells
7
Q

A
Interphase
8
Q
What stage is the final stage in the cell cycle
A
Cytokinesis
