Cell Division and DNA Quiz

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 prophase

• 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 anaphase

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

Why do cells go through mitosis?

• to make food from sunlight

• to create proteins

• to get air into the cells

• to reproduce, grow and repair/replace

Daughter cells created by MITOSIS have:

(Daughter cells are what are created by the parent cells)

• half of the parents genetic material

• twice the parent cell's genetic material

• an exact copy of the parent cell

• have a brand new DNA structure
