Questions and Answers
Lesson 1: Foundations to Set the Stage - Correct answer-
Focusing on Cellular Structure and Function - Correct answer-
The Normal Cell Cycle - Correct answer--The cell cycle refers to the ordered seres
of processes of DNA replication and mitosis, or cell division
-Cell nucleus regulates these processes by gathering and processing complexes
molecular information
Interphase and Mitotic Phase - Correct answer-Cell division produces two identical
cells through these two major phases
During interphase: - Correct answer-Cell grows and DNA is replicated through the
following three steps:
©COPYRIGHT 2025, ALL RIGHTS RESERVE 1
,1: First growth phase (G1 or first gap)
2: Synthesis phase (S phase)
3:Mitotic Phse (M phase)
First Growth Phase (G1 or first gap) - Correct answer--cells increase in size
-reproduce RNA
-"quality assurance" test that the cell will be ready to synthesis DNA
-Length of time is variable, can be from hours to days
Synthesis Phase (S phase) - Correct answer--DNA replicates
-Results in the formation of identical pairs of DNA (chromatids)

,-which are attached a t the centromere
-lasts 2-10 hours
Mitotic Phase (M phase) - Correct answer--Replicated chromosomes are aligned,
separated, and move into 2 new, identical daughter cells
-takes about 30-60 minutes
Major points of cell regulation are entry and exit from - Correct answer--G1
checkpoint
-S Phase
-G2 checkpoint
-M phase
Restriction Point - Correct answer--The transition from the resting phase into an
actively dividing phase (G0-G1) is a point where cellular transformation can occur

, -During this time, cells pass through a transition phase known as a restriction point
-Extracellular growth factors trigger reentry into G1, and GF are required to send
the cells past the restriction point, or the point of no return
G0 Phase (resting phase) - Correct answer--After mitosis, cells may enter back into
the G1 phase or go into a resting phase, known as G0
-Most cells in the human body reside in G0
-Exceptions to this are those that are (Resting in G0 phase) - Correct answer--
Exceptions to this are those that are metabollically active, such as
-granulocytes
-and the epithelium of the GI tract
Cell Cycling Time - Correct answer-Amount of time from mitosis to mitosis
