Mitosis

Front

What is Mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Front

What happens during Interphase?

Back

During Interphase, the cell prepares for division by copying its DNA.

Front

Is DNA unwound during Interphase?

Back

True, during Interphase, DNA is in an unwound state.

Front

What is the role of Spindle Fibers?

Back

Spindle fibers are structures that pull chromosomes apart during cell division.

Front

How do multicellular organisms grow and repair cells?

Back

Multicellular organisms grow, repair, and reproduce cells through the process of mitosis.

Front

What is the difference between Mitosis and Meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical cells, while Meiosis results in four genetically diverse cells.

Front

What is the first phase of Mitosis?

Back

The first phase of Mitosis is Prophase.

Front

What occurs during Prophase?

Back

During Prophase, chromosomes condense and become visible, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is Metaphase?

Back

Metaphase is the stage of Mitosis where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.

Front

What happens during Anaphase?

Back

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