Stages of Mitosis and the Cell cycle

Front

What is the first stage of mitosis?

Back

Prophase.

Front

During which stage of the cell cycle do chromosomes align at the cell's equator?

Back

Metaphase.

Front

What is the final stage of mitosis where the cell divides into two daughter cells?

Back

Cytokinesis.

Front

What happens to the nuclear envelope during prophase?

Back

It breaks down.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

They help separate the chromosomes.

Front

In which stage of mitosis do sister chromatids separate?

Back

Anaphase.

Front

What is the stage of the cell cycle that follows mitosis?

Back

Interphase.

Front

What occurs during telophase?

Back

The chromosomes de-condense and the nuclear envelope re-forms.

Front

What is the significance of the G1 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

It is the first gap phase where the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.

Front

What is the purpose of the S phase in the cell cycle?

Back

DNA synthesis occurs, resulting in the duplication of chromosomes.
