Front

What is the longest phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows and prepares for division?

Back

Interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows and prepares for division.

Front

What are the two main processes of cell division?

Back

The two main processes of cell division are mitosis and cytokinesis.

Front

What is the result of mitosis in terms of the daughter cells?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells that are identical to the starting cell and to each other.

Front

What is the phase of the cell cycle where the cytoplasm divides?

Back

Cytokinesis is the phase of the cell cycle where the cytoplasm divides.

Front

What is the first phase of mitosis?

Back

The first phase of mitosis is prophase.

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where chromosomes align in the center of the cell?

Back

Metaphase is the phase of mitosis where chromosomes align in the center of the cell.

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where sister chromatids are pulled apart?

Back

Anaphase is the phase of mitosis where sister chromatids are pulled apart.

Front

What is the final phase of mitosis?

Back

Telophase is the final phase of mitosis.

Front

What happens to the chromosomes during interphase?

Back

During interphase, chromosomes are replicated and are in the form of chromatin.

Front

How many chromosomes do daughter cells have after mitosis?

Back

Daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell after mitosis.
