Mitosis

Front

What is Mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.

Front

How many new daughter cells are formed as a result of Mitosis?

Back

2

Front

What is the first stage of Mitosis?

Back

Prophase.

Front

In what stage of Mitosis does the nucleolus disappear?

Back

Prophase.

Front

What happens to chromatin during Prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into tightly coiled chromosomes.

Front

What is the role of the nuclear envelope during Mitosis?

Back

The nuclear envelope disintegrates during Prophase and reforms during Telophase.

Front

In what stage of Mitosis do sister chromatids separate from each other?

Back

Anaphase.

Front

What is the significance of Metaphase in Mitosis?

Back

During Metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, ensuring proper separation.

Front

What occurs during Telophase?

Back

Chromosomes de-condense, the nuclear envelope reforms, and the nucleolus reappears.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows Mitosis, dividing the cytoplasm and organelles into two daughter cells.
