Mitosis and Cell Cycle REVIEW

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where the chromosomes uncoil and two distinct nuclei begin to form?

Back

Telophase

Front

During which stage of mitosis do spindle fibers form and chromosomes become visible?

Back

Prophase

Front

What are the two main processes involved in cell division?

Back

Mitosis and Cytokinesis

Front

What is the purpose of cell division in organisms?

Back

Growth, repair of damaged cells, and replacement of dying cells.

Front

What happens to the spindle fibers during telophase?

Back

They disappear.

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where chromosomes align at the cell's equator?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where sister chromatids are pulled apart?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is interphase?

Back

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, including DNA replication.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides to form two separate cells.

Front

What is the role of the centrioles during mitosis?

Back

They help in the formation of spindle fibers.
