Mitosis

Front

What is the first stage of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division?

Back

Interphase

Front

How many daughter cells are produced at the end of mitosis?

Back

2

Front

What are the structures that carry genetic information and are visible during cell division?

Back

Chromosomes

Front

What is the function of the centromere in a chromosome?

Back

The centromere holds the two sister chromatids together and is the attachment point for spindle fibers during mitosis.

Front

What phase of mitosis involves the separation of sister chromatids?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where the chromosomes align at the cell's equator?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where the nuclear envelope re-forms around the separated chromosomes?

Back

Telophase

Front

What is the process called when the cytoplasm divides after mitosis?

Back

Cytokinesis

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes and pull them to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What happens to the DNA during interphase?

Back

The DNA is replicated and the cell grows in preparation for mitosis.
