What is cytokinesis?

• When 2 cells merge together to make 1 giant cell

• The end of the cell cycle when the cell divides and mitosis is complete

• The stage when DNA condenses into chromosomes

• The stage where chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of the cell.

Why do cells go through mitosis?

• to get air into the cells

• to create proteins

• to reproduce, grow, and repair/replace cells

• Yes, it happens after prophase

• No, it happens before mitosis

During interphase

• DNA lines up in the middle of the cell and DNA attaches to spindle fibers

• 2 new nuclei form

• 2 new identical cells are created

• DNA gets copied

During metaphase

• DNA lines up in the middle of the cell and DNA attaches to spindle fibers

• centrioles and spindle fibers appear

• 2 new identical cells are created

• DNA gets copied

During telophase

• DNA lines up in the middle of the cell and DNA attaches to spindle fibers

• centrioles and spindle fibers appear

• Each DNA gets pull to the opposite sides of the cell

• 2 new nuclei form
