Interphase Flashcards
1
Q
GI phase
A
In the G1 phase, the cell grows by:
* increasing the volume of its cytosol
* synthesising proteins for DNA replication
* replicating its organelles.G
2
Q
G0
A
Cells that are not required to replicate rest in the G0 phase and are either
quiescent or terminally differentiated
3
Q
S phase
A
replicates its DNA turning one chromosome into two
genetically identical sister chromatids
4
Q
G2 Phase
A
The G2 phase is the final stage of interphase where the cell continues to grow and prepare
itself for mitosis.
The G2 phase is similar to the G1 phase in that it involves:
* increasing the volume of the cytosol
* synthesising proteins in preparation for mitosis.
