Meiosis and Mitosis

Front

What are the phases of mitosis in the correct order?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Front

How many chromosomes do daughter cells have after meiosis?

Back

23

Front

In which phase of mitosis do chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What phase does a cell spend most of its life in?

Back

Interphase

Front

What is the primary purpose of mitosis in the body?

Back

Growth and repair

Front

What is meiosis?

Back

A type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four daughter cells, each with 23 chromosomes.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse daughter cells.

Front

What happens during prophase of mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes and pull them to opposite ends of the cell.

Front

What occurs during anaphase of mitosis?

Back

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