Cell cycle

Front

What are the stages of mitosis in order?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Front

Which part of the Cell Cycle takes the longest?

Back

Interphase

Front

What part of the cell cycle results in the splitting of the new cells?

Back

Cytokinesis

Front

What is the longest phase in MITOSIS?

Back

Prophase

Front

True or False: After a cell goes through cytokinesis, it starts mitosis all over again.

Back

False

Front

Define Interphase.

Back

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell spends most of its time, preparing for mitosis.

Front

What occurs during Prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.

Front

What happens during Metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, and spindle fibers attach to the centromeres.

Front

What is Anaphase?

Back

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

Front

Define Telophase.

Back

The final stage of mitosis where chromosomes de-condense, the nuclear envelope re-forms, and the cell prepares to divide.
