cell cycle Flashcards
1
Q
interphase
A
the cell synthesis of the necessary DNA, proteins, and organelles required for growth and replication
DNA strands are loose and chromosomes are long and unwound
2
Q
G1 phase
A
the cell grows by increasing the volume of cytosol, synthesising proteins for DNA replication, replicating organelles
3
Q
synthesis phase
A
the cell replicates its DNA turning one chromosome into tow genetically identical sister chromatids, after this phase the cells become diploid cells
4
Q
diploid cells
A
cells that have 2 sets of chromosomes
5
Q
G2 phase
A
the last phase of interphase, the cell continues to grow and prepare, by increasing volume of cytosol and synthesising proteins in preparation for mitosis
