Understanding Mitosis

What marks the beginning of mitosis?

• The cell divides into two.

• DNA replicates and coils into chromosomes.

• Spindles attach to chromosomes.

• Nuclear membrane disintegrates.

What happens to the nuclear membrane during mitosis?

• It replicates.

• It becomes more rigid.

• It moves to the center of the cell.

• It disintegrates and then reforms.

What role do spindle fibers play during mitosis?

• They provide energy for cell division.

• They attach to chromosomes and help in their movement.

• They form the cell membrane.

• They replicate DNA.

How do chromosomes align in preparation for cell division?

• At the cell's equator, center stage.

• In random locations within the cell.

• Along the edges of the cell.

• Outside the cell.

What is the final step in the process of mitosis?

• Formation of spindle fibers.

• Spindles pushing against each other.

• Chromosomes unwinding and nuclear membranes reforming.

• DNA replication.
