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

What is the first stage of mitosis?

Back

Prophase is the first stage of mitosis where the nuclear envelope breaks down and chromosomes become visible.

Front

During which phase do chromosomes align in the center of the cell?

Back

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

Front

What happens during Anaphase?

Back

In Anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is Telophase?

Back

Telophase is the final stage of mitosis where the chromosomes de-condense and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.

Front

What is the correct order of the Cell Cycle?

Back

The correct order is Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis.

Front

What occurs during Interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase where the cell prepares for mitosis, including DNA replication and growth.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers in mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during mitosis by attaching to the centromeres.

Front

What is a chromosome?

Back

A chromosome is a structure made of DNA and protein that contains genetic information.
