Biology Flashcard

Front

Mitosis

Back

A process of cell division where a single cell divides to form two identical cells.

Front

What happens to the cell during the interphase of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell grows and develops, and chromosomes are copied.

Front

During which phase of mitosis do chromosomes become visible?

Back

Prophase

Front

What happens to the nuclear membrane during prophase?

Back

It disappears

Front

What happens to the nucleolus during prophase?

Back

It disappears

Front

During which phase of mitosis do spindle fibers attach to chromosomes?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What is the position of chromosomes during metaphase? Options: At the poles of the cell, Randomly scattered, Lined up across the equator, Outside the cell

Back

Lined up across the equator

Front

What happens to chromosomes during anaphase?

Back

Chromosomes divide into two sets.

Front

During anaphase, where is each half of the chromosome set pulled?

Back

To opposite sides of the cell.

Front

During which phase of mitosis do two nuclear membranes begin to form?

Back

Telophase
