Front

What phase comes after Metaphase in Mitosis?

Back

Anaphase

Front

In mitosis, how do the resulting cells compare to the starting cell?

Back

Identical to the starting cell and identical to each other.

Front

What is the phase of Mitosis where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What happens during Telophase?

Back

The chromosomes begin to uncoil, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the main purpose of Mitosis?
