Mitosis Review

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division where a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell.

Front

What are the two main outcomes of mitosis?

Back

The two resulting cells from mitosis are identical to the starting cell and identical to each other.

Front

What is the correct order of the Cell Cycle?

Back

The correct order of the Cell Cycle is Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis.

Front

What happens during the process of mitosis?

Back

During mitosis, the nuclear material is divided equally between two new cells.

Front

In which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes align in the center of the cell?

Back

The chromosomes align in the center of the cell during Metaphase.

Front

What is Anaphase in mitosis?

Back

Anaphase is the phase of mitosis where the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell.

Front

What is the role of centrioles in mitosis?

Back

Centrioles help in the formation of the spindle fibers that separate the chromosomes during mitosis.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.

Front

What is the function of spindle fibers?

Back

Spindle fibers are structures that help separate the chromosomes during mitosis.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

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