Ch 5 Cell Cycle and Regulation

Question 1

What are the 4 stages of the cell cycle?

Answer 1

G1
Synthesis
G2
Mitosis-Cytokinesis

Question 2

What happens during G1?

Answer 2

Cell continues normal processes
Gains size
Makes extra organelles
goes through a few checkpoints

Question 3

What happens during Synthesis

Answer 3

DNA Is copied

Question 4

What happens during G2

Answer 4

Continued growth
Checks DNA that was made in synthesis
Continues normal processes

Question 5

What happens during Mitosis.

Answer 5

Nucleus and contents divide

Cytokineses divide cytoplasm to create 2 genetically identical cells.

Question 6

What are the first 3 stages of the cell cycle called collectively?

Answer 6

Interphase

Question 7

Why is cell size limited?

Answer 7

Too small not enough room for everything needed

Too big and the surface area of the cell is not enough to care for the volume(Space) inside the cell

Question 8

Do all cell reproduce at the same rate?

Answer 8

No, rates varies depending on type of cell and need.
