During metaphase, chromosomes align at the metaphase plate, preparing for separation.

During Anaphase, sister chromatids are pulled apart and move towards opposite poles of the cell.

During Anaphase, sister chromatids are pulled apart and move toward opposite poles of the cell.

The G1 phase is where the cell spends most of its life, performing normal functions and growing.

The G1 phase is primarily for cell growth and preparation for DNA synthesis.

The S phase is specifically for DNA replication, ensuring that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.

The S phase (Synthesis phase) is where DNA replication occurs, resulting in the duplication of chromosomes.

The G1 phase is the first stage of interphase where the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.

Cytokinesis results in the physical separation of the cytoplasm, leading to the formation of two daughter cells.

Cyclins are proteins that regulate the progression of the cell cycle by activating cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs).

The G2 phase is crucial for preparing the cell for mitosis, ensuring all DNA is replicated and the cell is ready to divide.

Cytokinesis is the process that divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells.

Spindle fibers form during prophase to help separate the chromosomes during mitosis.

The G1 checkpoint assesses the cell's size and DNA integrity before it enters the S phase for replication.

Synthesis is not a stage of the cell cycle; it refers to the S phase where DNA is replicated.

Anaphase follows metaphase, where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Mitosis is the phase of the cell cycle where the nucleus divides, resulting in two nuclei.

The G2 phase is where the cell prepares for mitosis, ensuring all DNA is replicated and the cell is ready to divide.
