Interphase
Which part of Interphase is the cell growing?
G1 and G2
In which stage do chromosomes first become visible?
Prophase
The cell is growing and doing its normal job.
G1 and G2
What comes first: Prophase or Metaphase?
Prophase
Why is Interphase drawn bigger on the plate?
Because the cell spends most of its time there
During which phase is DNA copied?
S Phase
In which stage do chromosomes line up in the middle?
Metaphase
DNA is being copied
S Phase
What comes after S phase?
G2
What tool is used in the middle to show the cycle repeating?
Spinner
Which phase is the cell getting ready to divide?
G2
In which stage do chromosomes pull apart?
Anaphase
Chromosomes are lined up like a straight line.
Metaphase
Put these in order: Anaphase, Telophase, Metaphase
Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
What does the spinner represent?
That the cycle repeats
Which stage takes up the most space in the cell cycle?
Interphase
In which stage do two new cells start to form?
Telophase
The cell membrane is pinching in finishing the split of the cell.
Cytokinesis
What is the correct order of mitosis?
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
What would be confusing if all the stages were drawn in one big space?
You wouldn’t be able to tell the stages apart
Name all three parts of Interphase.
G1, S, and G2
What is the final step when the cell splits into two cells?
Cytokinesis
Chromosomes are pulled to opposite sides of the cell.
Anaphase
What is the full order of the cell cycle starting with G1?
G1, S, G2, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
What mistake might happen if Interphase is not the largest section on the plate?
It would look like the cell spends less time there than it really does
