Mitosis

Front

What is the next stage after Telophase in the cell cycle?

Back

Cytokinesis

Front

What must be copied before cells can divide?

Back

DNA

Front

At which stage do chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What happens during Prophase?

Back

Nuclear membrane disappears, chromosomes can be seen, centrioles move to opposite sides.

Front

What stage of the cell cycle accounts for 95% of a cell's life cycle?

Back

Interphase

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during Mitosis?

Back

They extend from the centrioles to the middle of the chromosomes to help separate them.

Front

What is the main purpose of Mitosis?

Back

To ensure that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.

Front

What occurs during Anaphase?

Back

Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell.

Front

What is the significance of the cell cycle?

Back

It regulates cell growth, replication, and division.

Front

Define Cytokinesis.

Back

The process where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.
