Cell Cycle

Question 1

What is the cell cycle

Answer 1

Process that all body cells in multi cellular organism use to grow and divide

Question 2

Cell cycle in order

Answer 2

•M phase
Metaphase checkpoint

•gap phase 1
G1 checkpoint

•SYNTHESIS

•gap phase 2
G2 checkpoint

Question 3

Interphase goes from

Answer 3

G1, S, G2

Question 4

M phase

Metaphase checkpoint

Answer 4

M phase : Mitosis and cytokinesis

M check : Cell ensures it’s ready to divide

Question 5

Gap phase 1

G1 check point

Answer 5

Gap phase 1 : cell growth, New organelles and proteins are made

G1 checkpoint: checks chemicals needed for replication r present - checks for any Falange before entering S phase

Question 6

Synthesis

Answer 6

DNA replication - cell replicates its DNA ready to divide by mitosis

Question 7

Gap phase 2

G2 checkpoint

Answer 7

Gap phase 2: cell keeps growing and proteins needed for cell division are made

G2 check point: the cell checks whether all the DNA has been replicated without any damage
