Cell Cycle

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Cell Cycle   events in the life of a cell that results in growth, duplication of DNA in order to produce new cells  
🗑
G1   phase of cell growth prior to cell division  
🗑
S   phase for DNA synthesis  
🗑
G2   cell goes through growth phase; DNA copy is checked for mistakes more cytoplasm and organelles are made  
🗑
G0   carries out normal functions but does not divide; these cells remove themselves from the cell cycle  
🗑
Interphase   includes G phases and S phase  
🗑
Mitosis   phase where cell divides its identical copied DNA to make 2 identical diploid cells; includes prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase  
🗑
Prophase   replicated chromosomes condense; nuclear envelope breaks down; mitotic spindles begin to form  
🗑
Metaphase   microtubules attach to chromosomes aligning them on equator  
🗑
Anaphase   sister chromatids are pulled apart by spindle microtubules; 2 sets of daughter chromosomes created  
🗑
Telophase   daughter chromosomes reach spindle poles; nuclear envelope reforms around the two nuclei  
🗑
Cytokinesis   two new daughter cells formed; occurs after mitosis  
🗑
Diploid   cell with 2 sets of chromosomes (1 set from each parent); not found in gametes; end product of mitosis  
🗑
Somatic Cells   all cells except sex cells (also known as gamete like sperm and egg); diploid cells; result of mitosis  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
