Mitosis

Front

What are spindle fibers?

Back

Structures that control the movement and separation of chromosomes during mitosis.

Front

What is a centromere?

Back

The region where a chromatid is attached to a spindle fiber.

Front

What are sister chromatids?

Back

The two halves of the doubled chromosome structure.

Front

What happens during anaphase?

Back

Chromosomes move away and are pulled apart by spindles to opposite sides of the cell.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

The process by which the material inside the nucleus is divided equally between two new cells.

Front

What is the role of centrioles in mitosis?

Back

Centrioles help in the formation of spindle fibers.

Front

What occurs during prophase?

Back

Chromosomes condense and become visible, and the nuclear membrane begins to break down.

Front

What is the significance of metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, ensuring proper separation.

Front

What is telophase?

Back

The phase where the chromosomes reach the poles and the nuclear membrane re-forms.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process that follows mitosis, dividing the cytoplasm and organelles into two daughter cells.
