Cell Division/Mitosis

Front

What is the correct order of the stages of mitosis?

Back

prophase - metaphase - anaphase - telophase

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

Chromosomes condense, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.

Front

What is metaphase?

Back

The stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up at the cell's equator.

Front

What occurs during anaphase?

Back

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

Front

What happens during telophase?

Back

Chromatids reach the poles, nuclear envelopes reform, and chromosomes begin to de-condense.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows and DNA is replicated, but mitosis does not occur.

Front

Which phase of mitosis is characterized by the alignment of chromosomes?

Back

Metaphase.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers?

Back

To help separate the chromosomes during mitosis.

Front

What is the significance of mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is essential for growth, development, and tissue repair in multicellular organisms.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides to form two separate cells.
