Telophase

Front

What is the final stage in the cell cycle?

Back

Cytokinesis

Front

During which stage do chromosome pairs line up along the middle of the cell?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What happens to chromosomes during Prophase?

Back

Chromosomes become visible and the membrane around the nucleus begins to disappear.

Front

What is the first stage of mitosis?

Back

Prophase

Front

What occurs during Metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.

Front

What is the role of the spindle fibers during Mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What happens during Anaphase?

Back

Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is the significance of Telophase in the cell cycle?

Back

Telophase marks the end of mitosis, where the chromosomes de-condense and the nuclear envelope re-forms.
