How do humans grow?

Back

Cells undergo cell division producing new cells.

Front

Which statement is true about normal mitotic cell division?

Back

Each daughter cell produced has the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Front

Which statement best describes the phase of the cell cycle shown?
Options: The cell is in prophase of mitosis because the number of chromosomes has doubled. , The cell is in metaphase of mitosis because the number of chromosomes has doubled. , The cell is in telophase of mitosis because the cell is separating and contains two copies of each chromosome. , The cell is in interphase of mitosis because the cell is separating and contains two copies of each chromosome.

Back

The cell is in telophase of mitosis because the cell is separating and contains two copies of each chromosome.
