What is the cell cycle?

Back

A series of events a cell goes through as it grows and divides.

Front

Why is DNA replication important before cell division?

Back

To ensure genetic information is transferred into daughter cells.

Back

Telophase

Front

In which phase do chromosomes meet in the middle?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What is prophase?

Back

The first stage of mitosis where chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down.

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.

Front

What happens during anaphase?

Back

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

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

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