Identifying the Stages of the Cell Cycle and Mitosis

Front

What is the first stage of mitosis where chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes?

Back

Prophase

Front

During which stage of mitosis do the sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is the final stage of mitosis where the cell divides into two daughter cells?

Back

Telophase

Front

What phase of the cell cycle follows mitosis and involves the cell preparing for the next division?

Back

Interphase

Front

What is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows and DNA is replicated?

Back

Interphase

Front

What is the term for the structure that forms during prophase to help separate chromosomes?

Back

Mitotic spindle

Front

What is the significance of the G1 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

It is the first gap phase where the cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

What happens during the S phase of interphase?

Back

DNA replication occurs, resulting in two sister chromatids for each chromosome.

Front

What is the role of the G2 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

It is the second gap phase where the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is the difference between cytokinesis and mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the division of the nucleus, while cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.
