Mitosis

Front

What are the stages of mitosis in order?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Front

What is the structure that contains genetic material and is visible during cell division?

Back

Chromosome

Front

If a fruit fly has 8 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have after mitosis?

Back

8 chromosomes

Front

What phase of mitosis directly precedes cytokinesis?

Back

Telophase

Front

What is the process called that divides the nuclear material equally between two new cells?

Back

Mitosis

Front

What is the role of the centromere during mitosis?

Back

The centromere holds sister chromatids together and is the attachment point for spindle fibers.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

During prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

During metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, and spindle fibers attach to the centromeres.

Front

What is anaphase?

Back

Anaphase is the stage where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
