Mitosis

Front

What are the stages of mitosis in order?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Front

What is the next phase of mitosis after Metaphase?

Back

Anaphase

Front

Why is it important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis?

Back

In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.

Front

What phase of mitosis is characterized by the alignment of chromosomes at the cell's equator?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What is the process by which the nuclear material is divided equally between two new cells?

Back

Mitosis

Front

What is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What happens during Prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the significance of Telophase in mitosis?

Back

Telophase marks the end of mitosis, where the chromosomes de-condense and the nuclear envelope re-forms.

Front

Define cytokinesis.

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides to form two separate daughter cells.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse gametes.
