eukaryotic cell cycle

Question 1

interphase

Answer 1

the cell synthesis of the necessary DNA, proteins, and organelles required for growth and replication

DNA strands are loose and chromosomes are long and unwound

Question 2

G1

Answer 2

the cell grows by increasing the volume of cytosol, synthesising proteins for DNA replication, replicating organelles

Question 3

synthesis phase

Answer 3

the cell replicates its DNA turning one chromosome into tow genetically identical sister chromatids, after this phase the cells become diploid cells

Question 4

G2

Answer 4

the last phase of interphase, the cell continues to grow and prepare, by increasing volume of cytosol and synthesising proteins in preparation for mitosis

Question 5

G0

Answer 5

cells which are not required to replicate go to this phase. quiescent cells have the ability to re-enter the cell cycle, terminally differentiated cells remain in G0 indefinitely
