Quick 10Q: Mitosis

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where sister chromatids align in the middle of the cell?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What is the correct order of processes in the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis

Front

Which checkpoint ensures all DNA has been replicated and no errors exist?

Back

G2 checkpoint

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where microtubules separate sister chromatids to opposite poles of the cell?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is the result of mitosis?

Back

2 identical, diploid cells

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where the nuclear envelope begins to break down?

Back

Prophase

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where the cell divides its cytoplasm?

Back

Cytokinesis

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

To help separate sister chromatids during anaphase.

Front

What is the significance of the G1 checkpoint in the cell cycle?

Back

It checks for cell size, nutrients, and DNA damage before DNA replication.

Front

What happens during telophase in mitosis?

Back

The chromosomes de-condense and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.
