Mitosis & The Cell Cycle

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA to produce two daughter cells.

Front

What is the longest phase in MITOSIS?

Back

Prophase

Front

What phase is this cell in? (If the chromosomes are aligned in the middle of the cell)

Back

Metaphase

Front

What phase is this cell in? (If the chromosomes are condensing and the nuclear envelope is breaking down)

Back

Prophase

Front

True or False: Cytokinesis is a part of Mitosis.

Back

False

Front

What is Mitosis?

Back

The process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.

Front

What are the main stages of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis.

Front

What happens during Interphase?

Back

The cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

The process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during Mitosis?

Back

They help separate the chromosomes during cell division.
