- What's the Cell Cycle? Have you ever wondered how cells produce more cells? From Cell Theory, we know that all cells come from other existing cells. They do this by going throug…

- Cell Growth and Division An adult human body has about 30 to 40 trillion cells, and every minute 300 million of those cells die. The cell cycle is a series of stages that a cell…

- (Video) Cell Cycle by Teacher's Pet Cells are constantly dying, so how do our bodies keep up our cell count? We make more, of course. Watch this video to see how cells make more…

Problems 20
- How can mitosis and interphase be best described?
- What is the best description of the cell cycle?
- During what phase does the cell physically separate into two cells?
- Which of these actions does not occur at some point during mitosis?
- What is the name of the phase (in orange) that includes the G1_11, S and G2_22 phases?
- What are the stages of interphase in the correct order?
- What are the two main parts of M phase?
- A cell that is not actively dividing or preparing to divide is in what phase?
- How many daughter cells result from mitosis?
- What does the G in G1_11 and G2_22 stand for?
- During which stage of interphase is DNA replicated?
- What is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis in M phase?
- The cell cycle is a carefully controlled process. What do we call unregulated cellular division?
- The cell cycle contains several checkpoints at which the cell is assessed for damage. If a cell is damaged it undergoes apoptosis. What is apoptosis?
- Certain cells can divide very rapidly and have short cycles. Which phase or phases would you expect to be shortened or absent in these cells?
- During which phase does the cell contain more genetic material: G1_11 or G2_22?
- What type of reproduction occurs during cellular division?
- Which of the following is NOT a reason for why cells divide?
- Which part of the cell cycle takes the longest?
- Fill in the blank: During mitosis, we start with a woah‾\underline{\phantom{woah}}woah cell and end with two woah‾\underline{\phantom{woah}}woah cells.
