Flashcard - Mitosis 2

Front

What phase do cells spend most of their time in?

Back

Interphase

Front

What is the correct order of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis

Front

If a cell has 23 chromosomes, how many daughter cells will it have after mitosis and how many chromosomes will each have?

Back

2 daughter cells, each with 23 chromosomes.

Front

During which phase do chromosomes divide into two sets and move towards opposite poles?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What are the two stages that are not part of mitosis but part of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase and Cytokinesis.

Front

What is Mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What happens during Interphase?

Back

During Interphase, the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

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

Front

What occurs during Prophase?

Back

During Prophase, chromosomes condense and become visible, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during Mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division.
