Cell Division Test Review

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process by which a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells, allowing for growth and repair.

Front

What happens during anaphase?

Back

During anaphase, the chromosomes are pulled apart toward opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

Interphase is the longest stage of the cell cycle where the cell grows and prepares for division.

Front

What are daughter cells?

Back

Daughter cells are the two new cells that result from the division of a single parent cell.

Front

What is the role of sister chromatids?

Back

Sister chromatids are identical copies of a chromosome that are joined together and separated during mitosis.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm of the parent cell divides to form two separate daughter cells.

Front

What is the G2 phase?

Back

The G2 phase is the second gap phase in interphase where the cell prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is the synthesis phase?

Back

The synthesis phase (S phase) is when DNA is replicated, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.

Front

What is prophase?

Back

Prophase is the first stage of mitosis where chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is metaphase?

Back

Metaphase is the stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
