Cell Cycle

Question 1

A percentage for the cell cycle is 100%, how many stages are in the cell cycle and how much percent do they take?

Answer 1

2 Stages, Interphase and Cell division. 90% Interphase, 10% Cell Division

Question 1

What happens during the interphase stage?

Answer 1

1.) Growth
2.) Regular metabolic activities
3.) Preparing for duplication of chromosomes

Question 2

What happens during the cell division stage?

Answer 2

1.) Mitosis - division of genetic material
2.) Cytokinesis - the division of the cytoplasm and organelles.

Question 3

What happens to genetic material going towards cell division and back to interphase

Answer 3

Genetic material condenses when going to cell division and genetic material decondenses when going to interphase.

Question 4

Three stages of Interphase

Answer 4

1.) G1
2.) S
3.) G2
4.) Mitosis/Cytokinesis

Question 5

What happens during G1 of interphase?

Answer 5

G1 also known as Growth 1 is where cells grow and new organelles are made.

Question 6

What happens during S phase of interphase?

Answer 6

S also known as synthesis is where genetic material gets duplicated and gives daughter cells a full set of instructions.

Question 7

What happens during G2 of interphase?

Answer 7

G2 , also known as Growth 2 is where cells grow again and prepare for cell division

Question 8

What is G0?

Answer 8

Where cells that are not actively dividing go, sometimes cells go into G0 and never divide again, they are considered to be terminally differentiated.
