Mitosis

Front

What is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell spends most of its time?

Back

Interphase

Front

What are the two stages that are not part of mitosis but are part of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase and cytokinesis

Front

How many daughter cells are produced from a cell with 23 chromosomes after mitosis, and how many chromosomes do they each have?

Back

2 daughter cells, each with 23 chromosomes.

Front

What happens to the amount of DNA in the nucleus just before the beginning of mitosis?

Back

The amount of DNA is doubled so that the two new cells each have the same original amount.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.

Front

What are the main phases of mitosis?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm of a parental cell is divided into two daughter cells.

Front

What role does interphase play in the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase is the phase where the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.

Front

During which phase of mitosis do chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane?

Back

Metaphase.

Front

What is the significance of DNA replication during interphase?

Back

DNA replication ensures that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.
