Identifying Mitosis Phases

Front

What are the stages of mitosis in order?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Front

What is the stage of mitosis where chromosomes align in the center of the cell?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What stage of the cell cycle accounts for 95% of a cell's life and where DNA is copied?

Back

Interphase

Front

In which phase of mitosis are chromosomes pulled apart by spindle fibers?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What phase of mitosis is characterized by the separation of sister chromatids?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is the first stage of mitosis where chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes?

Back

Prophase

Front

During which phase do the nuclear envelope and nucleolus disappear?

Back

Prophase

Front

What happens during Telophase in mitosis?

Back

Chromosomes de-condense, nuclear envelopes reform around each set of chromosomes.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

To help separate the chromosomes during Anaphase.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis?

Back

Mitosis is the division of the nucleus, while cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.
