5 C

Front

What is chromatin?

Back

Loose, invisible DNA found in the nucleus of a cell.

Front

What is the role of centrioles in cell division?

Back

Centrioles create spindle fibers that help separate sister chromatids during cell division.

Front

What are sister chromatids?

Back

Identical copies of a chromosome, connected by a centromere.

Front

What is a centromere?

Back

The region of a chromosome that holds the replicated sister chromatids together.

Front

What is the function of spindle fibers?

Back

Spindle fibers are responsible for pulling apart sister chromatids during cell division.

Front

What is the significance of the 5 C's in cell division?

Back

The 5 C's refer to key components and processes involved in cell division, including chromatin, centrioles, centromeres, and others.

Front

How do centrioles assist in mitosis?

Back

Centrioles organize the microtubules that form the spindle apparatus, essential for chromosome movement.

Front

What happens to chromatin during cell division?

Back

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What is the difference between chromatin and chromosomes?

Back

Chromatin is the loose form of DNA, while chromosomes are the condensed, visible structures formed during cell division.

Front

What is the role of the spindle apparatus?

Back

The spindle apparatus is responsible for the movement of chromosomes during cell division.
