Front

How does cytokinesis differ in plant and animal cells?

Back

Plant cells form a cell plate, while animal cells form a cleavage furrow.

Front

During which phase do chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell?

Back

Front

What is the first phase of mitosis?

Back

Prophase.

Front

What structure is responsible for pulling chromatids apart during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers.

Front

What is the role of centrioles during cell division?

Back

Centrioles help organize the spindle fibers.

Front

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

Back

The G1 phase is where the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.

Front

What occurs during the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis.
