Review - Mitosis

Front

What is the phase of the Cell Cycle in which the cell membrane pinches in and splits the cell into two?

Back

Cytokinesis

Front

What is the purpose of Mitosis?

Back

Growth of an organism and Repair of damaged tissue.

Front

During which phase do chromosomes become visible and the membrane around the nucleus begins to disappear?

Back

Prophase

Front

What is the fifth stage in the cell cycle?

Back

Telophase

Front

What is the third stage in the cell cycle?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What are the four main stages of Mitosis?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What occurs during Anaphase?

Back

Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during Mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What happens during Metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.

Front

What is the significance of Telophase in the cell cycle?

Back

Telophase marks the end of Mitosis, where the chromosomes de-condense and the nuclear envelope re-forms.
