Interphase
What phase of interphase is the cell growing and performing normal functions?
G1 phase
What stage of mitosis is characterized by chromosomes condensing?
Prophase
What process divides the cytoplasm after mitosis?
Cytokinesis
What phase is DNA replicated?
S phase
What stage are sister chromatids pulled apart to opposite poles?
Anaphase
What is the result of the mitosis in terms of daughter cells?
Two genetically identical diploid cells
What phase prepares the cell for mitosis after DNA replication?
G2 phase
What stage are sister chromatids pulled apart to opposite poles?
Anaphase
How does cytokinesis differ in plant vs animal cells?
Plant form a cell plate, animals form a cleavage furrow
What is the purpose of the S phase?
DNA replication
What stage is the nuclear envelope re formed?
Telophase
What type of cell division produces gametes instead of identical cells?
meiosis
What happens if a cell fails the G1 checkpoint?
It may enter G0 or stop dividing
What is the correct order of mitosis stages?
Why must DNA replication occur before mitosis?
So each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic information
