The Cell Cycle and Mitosis

Front

What are the stages of the cell cycle in the correct order?

Back

Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What phase of Mitosis is characterized by chromosomes lining up in the center of the cell?

Back

Metaphase.

Front

What process do multi-cellular organisms use to replace damaged body cells?

Back

Mitosis.

Front

What describes the attachment of spindle fibers and centrioles lining chromosomes in the center of the cell?

Back

Metaphase.

Front

In which phase does a cell spend most of its life?

Back

Interphase.

Front

What is Interphase?

Back

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell spends most of its life, preparing for mitosis.

Front

What occurs during Prophase?

Back

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

Front

What happens during Anaphase?

Back

Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is Telophase?

Back

The final stage of mitosis where the chromosomes de-condense and the nuclear envelope re-forms.

Front

What role do spindle fibers play in mitosis?

Back

They help separate the chromosomes during cell division.
