2024/2025 Exam Questions Marking
Scheme New Update | A+ Rated
Sister Chromatids - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Consists of two duplicated
chromosomes held together at the centromeres.
Where does mitosis occur? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔in eukaryotes
What does mitosis produce? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔It produces cells with nearly
identical genetic makeup.
Purposes of Mitosis - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔1. It is used for the purpose of
organismal reproduction in single-celled organisms.
2. It is used for the purposes of development and cell replacement in the
normal growth and maintenance of the bodies of multicellular organisms.

, What are the two main phases of the cell cycle? - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔interphase and cell division
Where do cells spend most of their time? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔interphase
Phases of Interphase - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase, and
G0 phase.
G1 Phase - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The new cell grows to mature size and may
begin to carry out its specific function.
S Phase - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔If the cell is going to divide again, it duplicates its
chromosomes during this phase by the process of DNA replication.
G2 Phase - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Once the DNA is replicated, the cell enters this
phase during which is prepares for cell division.
G0 Phase - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Some cells do not divide, or they delay division;
these cells enter this phase sometime during G1.
What is the second main phase of the cell cycle? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Cell
division, which includes mitosis and cytokinesis.
