Cell Division

Front

What is the final phase of mitosis?

Back

Telophase is the final phase of mitosis where the chromosomes arrive at the poles and begin to de-condense.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows mitosis, resulting in the division of the cytoplasm and formation of two daughter cells.

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication, including interphase and mitosis.

Front

What happens during anaphase?

Back

During anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, including DNA replication.

Front

What is prophase?

Back

Prophase is the first stage of mitosis where chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is metaphase?

Back

Metaphase is the stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up at the cell's equatorial plane.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers?

Back

Spindle fibers are structures that help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

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 are daughter cells?

Back

Daughter cells are the two identical cells that result from the division of a single parent cell.
