Cell division and cell cycle

Question 1

What is the growth section of the cell called?

Answer 1

Interphase

Question 2

What is the divison half of the cell called?

Answer 2

M phase

Question 3

What are the divisions of interphase?

Answer 3

G0,G1,M and G2

Question 4

What are the division of the M phase?

Answer 4

Prophase, Prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and Telophase

Question 5

What are DNA damage checkpoints?

Answer 5

Checkpoints at intervals to ensure that the DNA coded is correct

Question 6

How is DNA replication restricted?

Answer 6

In the S phase of interphase, MCM molecules are attached onto the DNA at the origin of replication. This replication allows for the placement of DNA Helycase, and once the dna has been replicated, the MCM complexes are no longer in the position to allow the attachment of DNA Helicase, in essence not allowing it to replicate again

Question 7

How is the cell cycle analysed?

Answer 7

Flow cytometer / fluorescence activated cell sorter
