Front

What is the role of the spindle fibers during Mitosis?

Back

They help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What happens during Metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.

Front

What is Anaphase characterized by?

Back

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

Front

What occurs during Telophase?

Back

Chromosomes de-condense, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.
