Mitosis

Back

A cell division

Front

What are the 4 phases of mitosis?

Back

Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase

Front

What does mitosis produce or make?

Back

Identical cells

Front

Do most of the cells spend their time in prophase?

Back

False

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

The DNA of the nucleus become condense and the duplicated chromosomes are visible. Spindle fibers start to form outside of the nucleus.

Front

What happens during metaphase?

Back

During metaphase, the sister chromatids are lined up in the middle of the cell. Their centromere is attached or connected to spindle fibers.

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

What happens during telophase?

Back

Chromosomes begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin. The nucleus envelope reforms. The spindle fiber breaks apart and the nucleolus becomes visible in each daughter cell.

Front

Does the cell completely split during telophase?

Back

False

Front

What are chromatids or sister chromatids?

Back

Duplicated chromosomes
