Cell Replication

Question 1

What are the stages of cell growth?

Answer 1

G1
S phase 
G2
Mitosis 
Cytokinesis

Question 2

What happens in G1?

Answer 2

Cell spends most of its life here

Organelles created like ribosomes to produce more proteins

Question 3

What happens in S phase?

Answer 3

DNA replication

23 chromosomes each turn into pairs in order to have a total of 46 chromosomes

Question 4

What happens in G2?

Answer 4

Preparation for mitosis, microtubules are made

Question 5

What are the 4 stages of mitosis?

Answer 5

Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase

Question 6

What happens in prophase?

Answer 6

Chromosomes become thicker and shorter
Nuclear envelope breaks down
Spindles form
Microtubules grow out of centrioles

Question 7

What happens in metaphase?

Answer 7

Chromosomes line up in middle

Chromosomes attach to each sister chromatid

Question 8

What happens in anaphase?

Answer 8

Sister chromatids separate and centromere divides

Question 9

What happens in telophase?

Answer 9

Chromosomes are at opposite end of the cell and a new nuclear envelope forms around each

Question 10

What is the separation of cells and the creation of two genetically identical cells called?

Answer 10

Cytokinesis
