Front

How many chromosomes will be in each new daughter cell after cytokinesis if there are 20 chromosomes in the nucleus before mitosis?

Back

20

Front

What must be copied before cells can divide?

Back

DNA

Front

Is cancer a consequence of the disruption of the cell cycle?

Back

True

Front

What is one difference between a cancer cell and a normal cell?

Back

Cancer cells divide uncontrollably.

Front

What is the purpose of Mitosis?

Back

To produce two identical daughter cells for growth and repair.

Front

What are the main stages of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis.

Front

What happens during Prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the role of DNA in cell division?

Back

DNA carries the genetic information that must be copied and distributed to daughter cells.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

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