Mitosis

Front

What is Mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.

Front

What happens during Prophase?

Back

During Prophase, the nucleus begins to disappear, and chromosomes condense and become visible.

Front

What occurs in Metaphase?

Back

In Metaphase, chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell, preparing for separation.

Front

What is Anaphase?

Back

Anaphase is the stage where chromosome pairs are split and pulled to opposite ends of the cell.

Front

What is Telophase?

Back

Telophase is the stage where the chromosomes begin to de-condense, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process where the cytoplasm of a parent cell divides into two daughter cells.

Front

What is Interphase?

Back

Interphase is the stage where the cell carries out its normal functions, grows, and prepares to divide, including DNA replication.

Front

What is the significance of Mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is essential for growth, development, and tissue repair in multicellular organisms.

Front

How many stages are there in Mitosis?

Back

There are four main stages in Mitosis: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers in Mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during Anaphase by attaching to the centromeres and pulling them apart.
