The Cell Cycle/Mitosis

Front

What is the result of mitosis?

Back

Two genetically identical daughter cells.

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA to produce two daughter cells.

Front

Put the following actions in order: DNA replicates, cell grows, cell prepares for mitosis, cell divides.

Back

1. Cell grows 2. DNA replicates 3. Cell prepares for mitosis 4. Cell divides.

Front

Identical cells formed during cell division are called:

Back

Daughter cells.

Front

The first phase of Mitosis is called ________

Back

Prophase.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, including DNA replication.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.

Front

What is metaphase?

Back

The stage of mitosis where chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.

Front

What occurs during anaphase?

Back

Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is telophase?

Back

The final stage of mitosis where chromosomes de-condense, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.
