Anaphase

Front

What do plants breathe out when they take in carbon dioxide?

Back

Oxygen

Front

During which phase of mitosis does the nuclear envelope reform?

Back

Telophase

Front

What is the final stage of the cell cycle?

Back

Cytokinesis

Front

What is the role of mitosis in cell division?

Back

Mitosis is the process by which a cell divides its nucleus and genetic material to form two identical daughter cells.

Front

What happens during prophase of mitosis?

Back

Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.

Front

What is the function of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the sister chromatids and pull them to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

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

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.

Front

What occurs during metaphase of mitosis?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, and spindle fibers attach to the centromeres.
