S phase

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells after mitosis.

Front

What is the purpose of the cell cycle?

Back

To create new daughter cells.

Front

What is the phase of mitosis when chromosomes align in the middle?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What occurs during interphase?

Back

The cell grows, performs its normal functions, and prepares for division.

Front

Back

The process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis?

Back

Mitosis is the division of the nucleus, while cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.

Front

What happens during anaphase?

Back

Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is telophase?

Back

The final phase of mitosis where the chromosomes de-condense and nuclear envelopes reform.
