Cell Division Review

Front

What is the first stage of the cell cycle where the cell matures and prepares to divide?

Back

Interphase

Front

What phase of cell division involves the separation of sister chromatids?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is the phase called when the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes?

Back

Telophase

Front

What is the point on the chromosome where the two chromatids are held together?

Back

Centromere

Front

What phase of mitosis involves the alignment of chromosomes along the cell's equatorial plane?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What is the process called that follows mitosis and divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells?

Back

Cytokinesis

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where chromosomes condense and the mitotic spindle begins to form?

Back

Prophase

Front

What is the term for the genetic material that is duplicated during interphase?

Back

DNA

Front

What is the role of the centriole during cell division?

Back

To help organize the mitotic spindle and ensure proper chromosome separation.

Front

What happens to the chromosomes during anaphase?

Back

They are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
