04: Cell Cycle
-
Define interphase.
Interphase is the phase in the cell cycle when the cell is not dividing, and it undergoes growth, DNA replication,…
-
What is mitosis?
Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.
-
Name the stages of mitosis.
The stages of mitosis are: 1. Prophase 2. Metaphase 3. Anaphase 4. Telophase
-
Define meiosis.
Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing four non-identical daughter cells, which…
-
Differentiate between mitosis and meiosis.
Mitosis results in two genetically identical diploid cells, while meiosis results in four genetically different haploid cells. Mitosis occurs in…
-
What is the significance of the cell cycle?
The cell cycle is essential for growth, repair, and reproduction of cells, allowing organisms to grow and maintain tissue function.
-
Define cytokinesis.
Cytokinesis is the final step in the cell cycle where the cytoplasm divides, forming two distinct daughter cells.
-
What is the role of checkpoints in the cell cycle?
Checkpoints regulate the cell cycle by ensuring that the cell only progresses to the next phase if conditions are favorable…
-
What is the end product of meiosis?
The end product of meiosis is four non-identical haploid cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes as the original…
-
Explain the stages of the cell cycle.
The cell cycle consists of two main stages: Interphase and Cell Division. Interphase includes three sub-stages: G1 Phase (cell grows…
