Question

use the diagram and your notes to answer the following questions. 1. what is a series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide? 2. what is the longest stage of the cell cycle called? 3. during what stage does the g1, s, and g2 phases happen? 4. during what phase of the cell cycle does mitosis and cytokinesis occur? 5. during what phase of the cell cycle does cell division occur? 6. during what phase of the cell cycle is dna replicated? 7. during what phase of the cell cycle does the cell grow? 8. during what phase of the cell cycle does the cell prepare for mitosis? 9. how many stages are there in mitosis? 10. put the following stages of mitosis in order: anaphase, prophase, metaphase, and telophase. 11. put the following stages of the cell cycle in order: g2, s, g1, m. 12. put the following in order: g2, g1, s, mitosis, cytokinesis. 13. put the following actions in order: dna replication, cell grows, cell division, cell prepares for mitosis.

Explanation:

1. The cell cycle is a series of events cells go through as they grow and divide.
2. Interphase is the longest stage of the cell cycle.
3. G1, S, and G2 phases happen during interphase.
4. Mitosis and cytokinesis occur during the M - phase.
5. Cell division occurs during the M - phase.
6. DNA replication occurs during the S - phase.
7. The cell grows during G1 and G2 phases.
8. The cell prepares for mitosis during G2 phase.
9. There are 4 stages in mitosis.
10. The order of mitosis stages is prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase.
11. The order of cell - cycle stages is G1, S, G2, M.
12. The order is G1, S, G2, mitosis, cytokinesis.
13. The order is cell grows (G1), DNA replication (S), cell prepares for mitosis (G2), cell division (mitosis and cytokinesis).

Answer:

1. The cell cycle
2. Interphase
3. Interphase
4. M - phase
5. M - phase
6. S - phase
7. G1 and G2 phases
8. G2 phase
9. 4
10. Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
11. G1, S, G2, M
12. G1, S, G2, mitosis, cytokinesis
13. Cell grows, DNA replication, cell prepares for mitosis, cell division
