Cell Cycle

Question 1

What is interphase?

Answer 1

preparing for cell division, cell is growing + copying DNA while doing life function

Question 2

What are the 3 phases of Interphase?

Answer 2

G1, S, G2

Question 3

What is the First Growth Phase?

Answer 3

Growth period, produces new protein & organelles

Question 4

What is the synthesis phase?

Answer 4

Makes a copy of DNA of cell

Question 5

What is the Second Growth Phase

Answer 5

Produces Organelles and structures needed for cell division

Question 6

What are the phases of mitosis

Answer 6

prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telaphase,

Question 7

What is not a part of mitosis but happens around the same time as cell division?

Answer 7

Cytokenesis

Question 8

Prophase:

Answer 8

Chromosomes condense
nuclear membrane dissolves
Spindle fibres form
centrioles move apart

Question 9

Metaphase:

Answer 9

chromosomes line up against the equater
Spindle fibres attach to centrosomes to centrioles

Question 10

Anaphase:

Answer 10

Chromotids seperate
Chromosomes are pulled up to opposite sides

Question 11

Telaphase:

Answer 11

Chrosomes strech out
A new nuclear membrane form for each new cell

Question 12

Cytokenesis:

Answer 12

cytoplasm divides to form 2 identical cells
