Mitosis

Front

What is the next phase of mitosis after anaphase?

Back

Telophase

Front

What are the structures that appear as 'X' shaped during mitosis?

Back

Chromosomes

Front

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

Back

Metaphase

Front

What phase of the cell cycle occurs before mitosis, where DNA is not yet condensed into chromosomes?

Back

Interphase

Front

In which phase of mitosis do the sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is the primary purpose of mitosis?

Back

To divide a single cell into two identical daughter cells.

Front

What are the four main phases of mitosis?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What happens during prophase of mitosis?

Back

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

To help separate the chromosomes and pull them to opposite ends of the cell.

Front

What is cytokinesis and when does it occur?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process of cytoplasmic division that occurs after mitosis, resulting in two separate daughter cells.
