Cell Division Images

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where chromosomes are separated and pulled to opposite sides of the cell?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is the phase of mitosis characterized by the alignment of chromosomes along the cell's equatorial plane?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What is the final phase of mitosis where the cell divides into two daughter cells?

Back

Telophase

Front

What is the first phase of mitosis where chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes?

Back

Prophase

Front

What is the term for the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells?

Back

Mitosis

Front

What structure forms during telophase to separate the two daughter cells?

Back

Cell plate (in plant cells) or cleavage furrow (in animal cells)

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

To help separate and move chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What happens to the nuclear envelope during prophase?

Back

It breaks down, allowing the chromosomes to be free in the cytoplasm.

Front

What is the significance of metaphase in the cell cycle?

Back

It ensures that chromosomes are properly aligned and attached to spindle fibers before separation.

Front

What is the difference between cytokinesis and mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the division of the nucleus, while cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.
