Mitosis Biology Final Study Guide

Front

What is the final stage of the cell cycle?

Back

Mitosis

Front

What is the inner section of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase

Front

What happens during Anaphase?

Back

Sister Chromatids break apart and move to opposite sides of the cell.

Front

What occurs during Gap1 (G1)?

Back

The cell is growing and carrying out normal cell functions, like making new proteins and organelles.

Front

What occurs during Gap2 (G2)?

Back

The cell produces organelles and structures necessary for mitosis (cell division).

Front

What is the purpose of Mitosis?

Back

To divide a single cell into two identical daughter cells.

Front

What are the main phases of Mitosis?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What occurs during Prophase?

Back

DNA condenses into chromosomes and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What occurs during Metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during Mitosis?

Back

They help separate the sister chromatids during Anaphase.
