Cell Cycle & Cell Division: period 5

Front

What happens during telophase of mitosis?

Back

Two new nuclei form.

Front

Which of the following is NOT occurring during interphase?

Back

Two new cells are made.

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell and spindle fibers extend from the centrioles to the middle of the chromosomes.

Front

What happens during the G2 phase of Interphase?

Back

The organelles double.

Front

List the stages of mitosis in order.

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

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

Front

Define mitosis.

Back

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

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What occurs during prophase?

Back

The chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the significance of the S phase in interphase?

Back

The S phase is when DNA is replicated, ensuring each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.
