Mitosis

Front

What is the last stage of the cell cycle in which the cytoplasm divides to form two identical cells?

Back

Cytokinesis

Front

What is the term for the sequence of stages of growth and division that a cell undergoes?

Back

Cell cycle

Front

During which phase of mitosis do the spindle fibers split the centromere and the chromatids move to opposite sides of the cell?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is the process called where one cell forms two identical daughter cells?

Back

Cell division (mitosis)

Front

What does the cell cycle consist of?

Back

The sequence of stages of growth and division that a cell undergoes.

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase and mitotic phase (M phase).

Front

What occurs during interphase?

Back

The cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

To separate the chromatids and pull them to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is the significance of cytokinesis in the cell cycle?

Back

It completes cell division by physically separating the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse gametes.
