What is cell division?

Back

Division of a cell into two daughter cells with the same genetic material.

Front

What are the correct phases of mitosis, in their correct order?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What happens during Anaphase?

Back

Spindle fibers pull chromosome copies apart to opposite poles.

Front

What phase is a cell in when chromosomes are pulled apart?

Back

Anaphase.

Front

What are chromatids?

Back

Chromatids are the two identical halves of a duplicated chromosome.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers in cell division?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis?

Back

Mitosis is the division of the nucleus, while cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.

Front

What is the purpose of mitosis?

Back

The purpose of mitosis is to ensure that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.

Front

What occurs during Telophase?

Back

During Telophase, the chromosomes begin to de-condense, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.
