Biology Cell Cycle and Programming Languages Quiz

The longest phase of interphase during which the cell grows and doubles its organelles and proteins.

The phase where DNA is duplicated, leading to two identical copies of each chromosome.

The final stage of interphase where the cell continues to grow and synthesizes proteins necessary for cell division.

The period in the cell cycle when the cell is not actively dividing.

The entire process of cell growth and division, including interphase and cell division.

This is the phase where the cell is not dividing and is not preparing to divide.

This is the longest part of interphase, where the cell grows rapidly and all of its organelles continue their processes.

This is the phase where the cell's DNA is duplicated, ensuring that each daughter cell receives a complete copy of the genetic code.

This is the phase where the cell continues growing and prepares for mitosis, the actual division of the nucleus.

This is the phase where the nucleus of the cell divides into two identical nuclei.

The process of a cell reproducing itself, often with four distinct stages (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase).

The two identical strands of DNA that make up a duplicated chromosome, joined at the centromere.

The structure that holds sister chromatids together, also serving as the attachment point for spindle fibers during cell division.

The process where a cell grows, replicates its DNA, and divides into two daughter cells.

The division of the cytoplasm after mitosis, creating two new cells.

Identical copies of a single chromosome held together at the centromere.

Specialized structure holding sister chromatids together.

The period in the cell cycle when the cell grows, and DNA replicates before mitosis.

The duplicated chromosomes line up at the center of the cell, forming the metaphase plate. Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes, ensuring proper separation during the next stage.

The nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes, forming two distinct nuclei. The chromosomes uncoil and become less visible, and the spindle fibers disappear.
