Cell Cycle and Mitosis

Front

What do mitosis and cytokinesis produce?

Back

Identical daughter cells.

Front

What is the first phase of cell division?

Back

Prophase.

Front

What phase does a cell enter as it exits the cell cycle?

Back

G0 phase.

Front

In which phase are sister chromatids separated from each other?

Back

Anaphase.

Front

What is the term for the repeating steps a cell goes through during its lifetime?

Back

Cell Cycle.

Front

What is the main purpose of mitosis?

Back

To ensure equal distribution of genetic material to daughter cells.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process that divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

To help separate the sister chromatids during anaphase.

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.
