Front

What is the phase of the cell cycle where DNA is in the form of chromatin?

Back

Interphase

How many sets of chromosomes do diploid cells have?

Back

2

Front

In which phase does the nuclear envelope begin to dissolve?

Back

Prophase

Front

If a parent cell has 24 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have after mitosis?

Back

24

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 are the main stages of mitosis?

Back

The main stages of mitosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

During prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and the mitotic spindle begins to form.

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

During metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, and spindle fibers attach to the centromeres.

Front

What is the role of the centrioles during mitosis?

Back

Centrioles help organize the mitotic spindle and are involved in the movement of chromosomes.
