Cell Cycle

Question 0

Why cells divide

Answer 0

To get materials such (food, water, oxygen and waste) into/out of cell EFFICIENTLY

So DNA can make enough proteins to run cell

Question 1

Cell division

Answer 1

Process when a cell divides into two daughter cells

Question 2

Cell cycle

Answer 2

Process of one cell dividing to become two cells

Question 3

Occurs in somatic (body) cells, & each cell will have the same genetic info

Answer 3

Cell cycle

Question 4

Main Stages of the Cell Cycle

Answer 4

Interphase. Mitosis. Cytokinesis

Question 5

A period of cell growth and DNA replication for all cells

Answer 5

Interphase

Question 6

The cell grows in size so it can divide into two. Chromosomes are single stranded
chromosomes condense in nucleus

Answer 6

G1

Question 7

Cell stops growing

Chromosomes replicate & become double-stranded

Answer 7

S (synthesis of DNA)

Question 8

Ce grows new organelles and prepares to divide

Answer 8

G2

Question 9

Mitosis

Answer 9

Division of the nucleus (2 cells are made)

Question 10

Division of the cytoplasm

Answer 10

Cytokinesis

Question 11

Cell builds a cell plate between the two nuclei (that will become the new cell wall for each cell.)

Answer 11

Plant Cytikonesis

Question 12

Cell Cleaves (pinches) in the middle and becomes two different cells

Answer 12

Animal Cytikinesis

Question 13

Proteins that regulate timing of the cell cycle

Answer 13

Cyclins

Question 14

Make sure there’s no uncontrolled cell growth

Without them growing leads to cancer and tumors

Answer 14

Cyclins
