What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that involves the division of the cytoplasm, resulting in two separate daughter cells after mitosis or meiosis.

Front

What is DNA replication?

Back

DNA replication is the process by which a parent cell duplicates its DNA, ensuring that each daughter cell receives an identical set of genetic information.

Front

What occurs during anaphase?

Back

During anaphase, the sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

During prophase, the chromosomes become visible, the nucleus disappears, and spindle fibers form.

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is the series of phases that a cell goes through, including interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.

Front

What is meiosis?

Back

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing four genetically diverse gametes.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

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

Front

What are chromatids?

Back

Chromatids are the two identical halves of a duplicated chromosome, joined together at the centromere.

Front

What is a spindle apparatus?

Back

The spindle apparatus is a structure made of microtubules that helps separate chromosomes during cell division.
