Cell growth and normal functions.

Front

What is the purpose of DNA replication during the S phase?

Back

To ensure that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.

Front

What is the role of the centromere?

Back

To hold sister chromatids together and assist in their movement during cell division.

Front

What happens during prophase of mitosis?

Back

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