Mitosis- Exit Slip

Front

What is Mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process by which a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells, essential for growth and repair in organisms.

Front

What are the main phases of Mitosis?

Back

The main phases of Mitosis are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

Front

During which phase do chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?

Back

Metaphase.

Front

What is the purpose of Mitosis?

Back

The purpose of Mitosis is for the growth of an organism and the repair of damaged tissue.

Front

What does PMAT stand for in Mitosis?

Back

PMAT stands for Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase, which are the stages of Mitosis.

Front

What is Interphase?

Back

Interphase is the stage of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, and DNA is replicated.

Front

What happens during Prophase?

Back

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

Front

What occurs during Anaphase?

Back

During Anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell.

Front

What is Telophase?

Back

Telophase is the final phase of Mitosis where the chromosomes de-condense, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

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