Cell Cycle
Interphase and M phase
What are the phases of the cell cycle?
G1, S, and G2
What are the stages of Interphase?
When does M phase happen?
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
What are the stages of mitosis in order?
Interphase
What is the longest phase in the cell cycle?
The cell grows and replicates its DNA.
What happens during interphase?
Mitosis and cytokinesis
What are the stages of M phase?
Telophase is the last phase of mitosis.
What is the last phase of mitosis?
Once prokaryotic cells have grown to a certain size.
When do prokaryotic cells replicate their DNA?
S phase.
When is DNA being replicated?
Cell division
What happens during M phase?
The cell's nucleus divides.
What happens during mitosis?
Prokaryotic cells don't have interphase or M phase.
Does prokaryotic cells have interphase or M phase?
The cell grows and synthesizes proteins and organelles in G1, DNA is replicated in S, and the cell prepares for division in G2.
What happens in each stage of interphase?
Dividing of the cytoplasm.
What happens during cytokinesis?
Mitosis lasts from a few minutes to several days.
How long does mitosis last?
Organism growth and repair.
Why does the cell divide?
Centrioles.
What cell organelle needs to be formed for cell division?
Two identical daughter cells.
What is the product of M phase?
The duplicated strand of DNA attaches to spindle fibers.
What do duplicated strands of DNA attach to?
