Front

What phase of mitosis occurs when sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Division of the cytoplasm.

Front

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

Back

Prophase

Front

What is the final phase of mitosis where the cell divides into two daughter cells?

Back

Telophase

Front

What structure is responsible for organizing the mitotic spindle during mitosis?

Back

Centrioles

Front

What is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

To separate the chromosomes and pull them to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is the difference between diploid and haploid cells?

Back

Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes (46 in humans), while haploid cells have one set (23 in humans).
