What is the process by which the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell divides to produce two cells?

Back

Cytokinesis

What is the cell cycle checkpoint that ensures DNA has been replicated correctly during S phase?

G2 Checkpoint

Front

What occurs during mitotic anaphase?

Back

Centromeres of each chromatid divide, sister chromatids separate, and daughter chromosomes begin to move towards opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is the phase in mitosis where chromosomes move away and are pulled apart by spindles to opposite sides of the cell?

Back

Anaphase

What is the cell cycle checkpoint that ensures the correct number of chromosomes are present and attached to microtubules?

M Checkpoint

Front

What is the first phase of mitosis where chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down?

Back

Prophase

Front

What is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication?
