Front

What is mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of sister chromatids in mitosis?

Back

Sister chromatids are identical copies of a chromosome that are separated during mitosis.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process that divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells.

Front

What is the significance of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle ensures proper cell division and replication of DNA.
