Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

During prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate daughter cells.

Front

What are chromosomes?

Back

Chromosomes are structures made of DNA and protein that contain genetic information.

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.

Front

What role do spindle fibers play in mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division.
