Front

What happens during Anaphase?

Back

The sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes and are moved apart.

Front

What happens during Prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses and the nuclear envelope breaks down.

Front

What is the series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide?

Back

The Cell Cycle.

Back

PMAT (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase).

A process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during Mitosis?

Back

They help separate the sister chromatids and pull them to opposite ends of the cell.

Front

What is the difference between Mitosis and Meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical cells, while Meiosis results in four genetically diverse gametes.

Front

What occurs during Metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes line up at the center of the cell.

Front

What is Interphase?

Back

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, including G1, S, and G2 phases.
