What is the process shown by the acronym IPMAT?

Back

Mitosis, which includes the stages: Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

Front

Front

In which stage do chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell?

Front

What is the 'Resting stage' of the cell cycle called?

Back

Interphase.

Front

What is the main purpose of mitosis?

Back

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

To help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What occurs during anaphase?

Back

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

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides to form two separate cells.
