Cell Cycle-Mitosis

Front

What is the order of the cell cycle?

Back

interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis

Front

Why is DNA important?

Back

It provides the instructions/blueprint for a cell.

Front

What do daughter cells created by mitosis have?

Back

An exact copy of the parent cell.

Front

What happens during cytokinesis?

Back

Cell membrane pinches to make 2 new identical daughter cells.

Front

What occurs during telophase?

Back

2 new nuclei form.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, including DNA replication.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

They help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is metaphase?

Back

The stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
