Duplicated chromosomes.

Front

What happens during anaphase?

Back

During anaphase, the sister chromatids separate from each other and move to opposite ends of the cell along with its spindle fiber.

Front

How long does mitosis last?

Back

From a few minutes to several days.

Front

What phase is characterized by the alignment of chromosomes at the cell's equator?

Back

Metaphase.

Front

Is this statement true or false: Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells?

Back

True.

Front

What is the first phase of mitosis?

Back

Prophase.

Front

What structure is responsible for pulling the sister chromatids apart during anaphase?

Back

Spindle fibers.

Front

What is the role of the centromere in mitosis?

Back

The centromere holds the sister chromatids together until they are separated during anaphase.

Front

What occurs during telophase?

Back

The chromosomes begin to de-condense, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides to form two separate daughter cells.
