The cell cycle is made up of which two (2) major phases?
Match the stage of the Cell Cycle to its description.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Mitosis "M" Phase | arrow_right_alt | The cell grows for the first time and duplicates (copies) its organelles. |
G1 Phase | arrow_right_alt | The cell duplicates (copies) its DNA. |
Synthesis "S" Phase | arrow_right_alt | The cell grows for a second time and check point. |
G2 Phase | arrow_right_alt | The nucleus divides to form two identical daughter cells. |
Label the DNA structures on the diagram below.

Match each of the 4 steps of mitosis to its definition.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Prophase | arrow_right_alt | The step of Mitosis when the chromosomes are pulled apart/away to opposite sides of the cell. |
Metaphase | arrow_right_alt | The step of Mitosis when two nuclei are formed. |
Anaphase | arrow_right_alt | The step of Mitosis when the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. |
Telophase | arrow_right_alt | The step of Mitosis when the chromosomes become packed/condensed and are visible. |
Match the following image to the best description of the step in Mitosis.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
| arrow_right_alt | Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. | |
| arrow_right_alt | Chromatin condenses. At this phase you can see the individual chromosomes. | |
| arrow_right_alt | The spindle fibers divide the chromosomes in half. The chromosomes are pulled to the opposite sides of the cell. | |
| arrow_right_alt | Each of the two chromosome sets are surrounded by a new nucleus. |
What are the TWO major phases of the cell cycle?
Which color is which phase?
The yellow section represents and the blue section represents .
Match the following vocabulary words to their definition.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Spindle Fibers | arrow_right_alt | The process of how cells reproduce (make duplicate cells). |
Cell Cycle | arrow_right_alt | The cell splits into 2 identical daughter cells |
Chromatin | arrow_right_alt | Fibers that help separate the chromosomes. |
Cytokinesis | arrow_right_alt | DNA molecules that are uncoiled and NOT tightly packed |
Which of the 2 major phases of the cell cycle do these belong to?
Interphase | Mitosis | |
|---|---|---|
G1 | ||
Metaphse | ||
S Phase | ||
Anaphase | ||
Telophase | ||
G2 | ||
Prophase |
Which letter represents where DNA is replicated?
Label the diagram of the cell cycle.

A student set up a table to organize the steps of the cell cycle. What should the titles of the 2 columns be? Drag one correct answer to each box. Some answers will not be used.

Christian is observing some cells under the microscope and made the following observations:
Spindle fibers are present
Chromosomes are lined up in the center
What phase of the cell cycle is he MOST LIKELY observing?
When cell reproduction occurs and is unregulated, this causes cells to grow out of control. This uncontrolled growth can produce...
A cell is performing cellular respiration, growing and preparing to divide. What phase of the Cell Cycle is it in?
The graph below shows the amount of DNA in a cell as it enters and goes through the cell cycle.
The amount of DNA between 5hrs-8hrs . This represents .
The amount of DNA between 8hrs-11hrs . This represents .
The amount of DNA between 11hrs-12hrs . This represents .
Which of the four stages of the cell cycle is when the chromosomes are replicated?
Match the following images to the stages of Mitosis (Not in any particular order).
Why is it important to keep the cell cycle regulated?
Match the following steps of the cell cycle to their correct definition.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
G1 | arrow_right_alt | Verification of the cell contents before mitosis |
G2 | arrow_right_alt | Replication of DNA occurs |
Cytokinesis | arrow_right_alt | Grows for the first time, organelles double |
S Phase | arrow_right_alt | Division of the nucleus into two nuclei |
M Phase | arrow_right_alt | Division of the cytoplasm into two identical cells |
Once a cell has successfully gone through interphase, it will usually divide to form two _________ cells.
What happened to the amount of DNA in the cell between hours 1 & 5?
What stage of the cell cycle is it?
