Cell Cycle & Mitosis Mastery

Front

What phase of the cell cycle do chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell?

Back

Metaphase

Front

In which phase do cells spend most of their lives?

Back

Interphase

Front

What is the correct order of the phases of mitosis?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Front

Is interphase considered a part of mitosis?

Back

No, it happens before mitosis.

Front

Which phase of mitosis is characterized by the separation of sister chromatids?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is the main purpose of mitosis?

Back

To divide a single cell into two identical daughter cells.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

They help separate the chromosomes and pull them to opposite ends of the cell.

Front

What occurs during telophase?

Back

Chromosomes de-condense, the nuclear envelope re-forms, and the cell prepares to divide.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides to form two separate cells.
