What phase does the cells spend 90% of their time?

• Prophase

• Interphase

• Metaphase

During Anaphase, spindle fibers pull chromosome to opposites sides of the cell.

True or False

• True

• False

What happens in Metaphase ?

• Cell membranes soften

• DNA replicates

• Chromosomes line up in the middle

• Spindle fibers loosen

What is the stage where the cell membranes pinch and put everything back together ?

• Interphase

• Cytokinesis

• Telophase

• Prophase

What phase do the spindle fibers form in ?

• Metphase

• Interphase

• Prophase

• Cytokinesis

What is Cytokinesis ?

• Final separation of the 2 cells

• Chromosomes loosen into DNA

• The cell merges together

Why is Mitosis important ?

• Cells are afraid to be alone

• Cells want more chromosomes

• For growth and repair of damaged cells

The original cell BEFORE cell division is known as ?

• Parent Cell

• Daughter Cells

The 2 new cells that result from Mitosis and Cytokinesis are referred to as ________________ ?

• Daughter Cells

• Parent Cells

What is the purpose of Mitosis ?

• To make the cells become friends

• To duplicate body cells

• To steal DNA from their parents
