Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division where a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells.

Front

What are the main stages of mitosis?

Back

The main stages of mitosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

During prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers in mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division by attaching to the centromeres.

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

During metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, preparing for separation.
