Cell Division

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What phase of mitosis involves the chromosomes becoming visible and the spindle forming outside the nucleus?

Back

Prophase

Front

Which phase of the cell cycle involves the division of the nucleus?

Back

Mitosis

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.

Front

What are the main phases of mitosis?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

Chromosomes become visible, and the spindle apparatus begins to form.

Front

What is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

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.

Front

What is the significance of metaphase in cell division?

Back

Metaphase ensures that chromosomes are properly aligned for equal distribution to daughter cells.

Front

What occurs during anaphase?

Back

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