Mitosis

Front

What happens during interphase?

Back

During interphase, the cell replicates its DNA and prepares for cell division.

Front

What is a chromatid?

Back

A chromatid is one half or one rod of the condensed chromatin.

Front

What occurs during prophase in mitosis?

Back

During prophase, the chromatin condenses, spindle fibers form, and the nuclear membrane breaks apart.

What is the difference between chromatin and chromosomes?

Back

Chromatin is the relaxed form of DNA in the nucleus, while chromosomes are the condensed form of chromatin during cell division.

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

During metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.
