Interphase is made up of what 3 phases?
G1, S, and G2
In what phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell?
Metaphase
What protein matches the nitrogen base pairs during DNA replication?
DNA Polymerase
What/When are the three cell checkpoints?
G1, G2, and M checkpoints
What is the building block (monomer) of DNA?
Nucleotide
What happens during the S phase of Interphase?
DNA Replication
In what phase of mitosis are the sister chromatids pulled apart?
Anaphase
What protein separates the DNA strands during DNA replication?
DNA Helicase
Describe what the cell is checking for during ONE of the cell checkpoints.
G1 = Growth
G2 = DNA is copied
M = Spindle Fibers attached
How many strand are in DNA?
2
What happens during the G1 and G2 phases of Interphases?
Growth (and prep for cell division)
Put these phases in the correct order: Telophase, prophase, interphases, anaphase, metaphase, and cytokinesis
Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis (IPMATC)
During what phase of mitosis does DNA begin to become visible and condense as the nucleus disappears?
Prophase
If a cell fails any checkpoint, what will happen to the cell?
Apoptosis (cell suicide/death)

GaRR
-Growth
-Asexual Reproduction
-Repair
-Replacement
