Front

What are the stages of the cell cycle in order?

Back

G1, S, G2, M

Front

In which stage of cell division can you see visible chromosomes and two nuclei?

Back

Telophase

Front

What phase of mitosis is characterized by the alignment of chromosomes at the cell's equator?

Back

Metaphase

Front

In eukaryotic cells, where is DNA primarily located?

Back

Nucleus

Front

What is the main purpose of mitosis?

Back

To produce two identical daughter cells for growth and repair.

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 spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

To help separate the chromosomes and pull them to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What occurs during anaphase?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the G1 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

It is the first growth phase where the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.
