Back

Prophase

Front

The process by which a cell nucleus divides is called:

Back

Mitosis

Front

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

Back

Cell grows, DNA replicates, cell prepares for mitosis, cell divides.

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

Which part of the Cell Cycle takes the longest?

Back

Interphase

Front

What is Interphase?

Back

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What are the three main stages of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis.

Front

What occurs during Prophase?

Back

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

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

The process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division.
