Cell Division

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where the spindle fiber splits the centromere and the chromatids move to opposite sides of the cell?

Back

Anaphase

Front

Name the phase of mitosis where chromosomes align in the middle of the cell.

Back

Metaphase

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The sequence of stages of growth and division that a cell undergoes.

Front

Before a cell divides, what does the nucleus contain?

Back

Chromatin

Front

List the stages of mitosis in order.

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the significance of telophase in mitosis?

Back

Telophase is the final stage where the chromosomes de-condense and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.

Front

What are chromatids?

Back

Chromatids are the two identical halves of a duplicated chromosome.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis?

Back

Mitosis is the division of the nucleus, while cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.
