Exam 1
2 General Phases of the Cell Cycle
Interphase
Mitosis
Phases of Interphase
G1
S
G2
G0
What is the G1 Phase
The Growth Phase
What is the S Phase
Cell Replicates DNA
What is the G2 Phase
Cells grows and makes preparations for mitosis
What is G0 Phase
Resting Phase While waiting for mitosis
Phases of Mitosis
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telephase
What happens in Prophase
Chromosomes Condense, spindle fibers form, Nuclear envelope dissolves
What happens in Metaphase
Chromosomes lined up, attach to spindle fibers
What happens in Anaphase
Centromeres split
What happens in Telephase
Chromosomes move to opposite poles, Mitotic Spindle breaks down
What happens in Cytokinesis
Cytoplasm divides
What phase of the cycle does DNA replicate
Interphase ….. S phase
Function of DNA in a cell
Genetic makeup
Long-Term storage of information
Process by which glucose is broken down
Glycolysis
