What is programmed cell death?

Back

Apoptosis is the process of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms.

Front

During which phase do chromatids separate?

Back

Anaphase is the stage of mitosis where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What are identical copies of chromosomes called?

Back

Chromatids are the two identical halves of a replicated chromosome.

Front

What is the process called when two replicated cells split from each other?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.

Front

What does it mean to make an identical copy?

Back

To replicate means to make an exact copy of something.

Front

What structure helps in the separation of chromosomes during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers are the structures that pull apart the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What is the role of centrioles in cell division?

Back

Centrioles help organize the spindle fibers during mitosis.

Front

What phase comes after metaphase in mitosis?

Back

Anaphase follows metaphase in the process of mitosis.

Front

What is the significance of interphase in the cell cycle?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of the centromere?

Back

The centromere is the region of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids are joined together.
