Cell Division (Mitosis)

In this stage: the chromosomes condense, spindle fibers form, chromosomes are captured by spindle.

Division of somatic cells in eukaryotic organism. During this process, a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells.

What is the primary purpose of mitosis?

• To produce gametes

• To facilitate growth and repair.

• To increase genetic diversity

• To create energy

During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes align in the center of the cell?

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

What structure pulls the chromatids apart during anaphase?

• Nucleus

• Centromere

• Spindle Fibers

• Chromatin

In this stage, chromosomes align along the equator of the cell

What is the first stage of mitosis?

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Prophase

• Telophase

At this stage, that sister chromatids separate from each other.

Spindle fibers between the poles disintegrate.The nuclear envelope starts to reform.

In this stage, the cell physically divides into two daughter cells.
