The Cell Cycle - 7th Grade Questions
and Answers Rated A
What is the cell cycle? ✔✔The sequence of growth and division in a cell.
In the cell cycle, who divides? ✔✔One parent cell forms two daughter cells with the same DNA.
What is DNA? ✔✔Genetic material.
What are the the stages of the cell cycle? ✔✔1. Interphase
- Mitosis
- Cytokinesis
What stage is the cell "IN" most of the time? ✔✔Interphase
What happens in Stage 1 of the cell cycle? ✔✔Interphase:
**Most of the time the cell is "IN" this stage.
- Cell grows to mature size.
- DNA replication - makes a copy of DNA directions.
- Prepares to divide.
What happens in Stage 2 of the cell cycle? ✔✔Mitosis:
- Cell's nucleus divides.
- One copy of the DNA is provided to each of the daughters cells
It takes four phases to complete mitosis
What are the four phases of Mitosis? ✔✔1. Prophase
- Metaphase
- Anaphase
- Telophase
What happens in Prophase and which phase of mitosis is it? ✔✔Phase 1 of mitosis.
- Chromatin coils to form chromosomes (x-shape)
- Nuclear membrane disappears.
What happens in Metaphase and which phase of mitosis is it? ✔✔Phase 2 of mitosis.
