What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process during cell division where the cell membrane pinches in, dividing the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.

Front

What occurs during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the G1 phase, the cell grows and carries out normal metabolic processes.

Front

What is the main event of cytokinesis?

Back

The main event of cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm, resulting in two separate cells.

Front

What phase of mitosis is characterized by the alignment of chromosomes at the cell's equator?

Back

Metaphase is the phase of mitosis where chromosomes align at the cell's equator.

Front

What is the result of DNA replication?

Back

DNA replication results in two DNA molecules, each containing one original strand and one newly synthesized strand.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

During prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear membrane begins to break down, and the mitotic spindle starts to form.

Front

What is the role of the mitotic spindle?

Back

The mitotic spindle is responsible for separating chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What occurs during anaphase?

Back

During anaphase, sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is telophase?

Back

Telophase is the final stage of mitosis where the chromosomes de-condense, and the nuclear membrane re-forms around each set of chromosomes.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, including G1, S (synthesis), and G2 phases.
