Front

What phase of mitosis does DNA condense into visible chromosomes?

Back

Prophase

Front

List the phases of mitosis in order.

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Front

Is cytokinesis a phase of mitosis?

Back

False

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The stage of the cell cycle where the rest of the cell divides after mitosis is complete.

Front

What does NOT happen during interphase?

Back

Cell division.

Front

What is the main purpose of the cell cycle?

Back

To ensure proper cell growth, DNA replication, and division.

Front

What occurs during prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What happens during metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.

Front

What is anaphase?

Back

The phase where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What occurs during telophase?

Back

Chromosomes de-condense, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.
