Mitosis and Meiosis

Front

What are the stages of mitosis in order?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Front

What happens during interphase?

Back

The cell is growing and copying DNA.

Front

In what phase of Meiosis do 2 diploid (2n) daughter cells form?

Back

Telophase/Cytokinesis 1

Front

What does DNA condense into?

Back

Chromosomes

Front

What is the structure that holds sister chromatids together?

Back

Centromere

Front

What is the purpose of mitosis?

Back

To produce two identical daughter cells for growth and repair.

Front

What is the difference between diploid and haploid cells?

Back

Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes (2n), while haploid cells have one set (n).

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

They help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What occurs during prophase?

Back

Chromosomes condense, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers form.
