Questions and Answers

What is the significance of the G0 phase in the cell cycle?

  • It is a phase where cells do not divide or copy themselves (correct)
  • It is a phase where cells duplicate their DNA twice
  • It is when the cell grows
  • It is when the cell duplicates all of its DNA

Why does interphase precede mitosis in the cell cycle?

  • It allows for cell elongation
  • It duplicates the DNA and prepares the cell for division (correct)
  • It is the stage where chromatids separate
  • It is a phase where chromosomes condense

In mitosis, what is the role of the centrosome during cell division?

  • Initiate the formation of daughter nuclei
  • Duplicate the DNA content
  • Separate chromatids during anaphase
  • Organize microtubules and form the spindle for chromosome division (correct)
