The Cell Cycle Coloring Worksheet is a learning resource for the Bio 104 Foundations in Biology II course at Georgetown University. It is designed to help students understand and visualize the different stages and processes of the cell cycle.
Q: What is the cell cycle?
A: The cell cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication.
Q: What are the phases of the cell cycle?
A: The phases of the cell cycle are interphase (G1, S, and G2 phases) and mitotic phase (including mitosis and cytokinesis).
Q: What happens during interphase?
A: During interphase, the cell grows, DNA replicates, and the cell prepares for division.
Q: What happens during mitosis?
A: Mitosis is the process of cell division where one cell nucleus divides into two identical nuclei.
Q: What is the purpose of cytokinesis?
A: Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division, where the cytoplasm divides into two separate cells.
Q: Why is the cell cycle important?
A: The cell cycle is important for growth, tissue repair, and reproduction of organisms.
