Front

What is the process used by multi-cellular organisms to replace damaged body cells?

Back

Mitosis

Front

In which phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?

Back

S phase

Front

Which phase of mitosis involves centrioles pulling chromosomes apart?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is the first phase of mitosis?

Back

Prophase

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

Nuclear membrane breaks down and spindle fibers form.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

They help separate chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.

Front

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

Back

It is the phase where DNA is synthesized and replicated.

Front

What happens during telophase?

Back

Chromosomes de-condense and nuclear membranes reform.

Front

Define mitosis.

Back

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