Mitosis

What is the phase in mitosis where chromosomes are pulled apart?

• 
• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

What occurs during telophase?

• The chromosomes align at the equatorial plane.

• The chromosomes reach the poles, the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes begin to de-condense.

• The DNA is replicated and the cell prepares for division.

• The spindle fibers break down and the cell membrane pinches inwards.

What is mitosis?

• Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.

• Mitosis is the process of DNA replication that occurs before cell division.

• Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces four genetically different daughter cells.

• Mitosis is the process of cellular respiration that generates energy for the cell.

What is chromatin?

• A type of protein found in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells.

• A complex of DNA and proteins found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, which condenses to form chromosomes during mitosis.

• A form of RNA that helps in protein synthesis.

• A structure that only exists during cell division.

What is the significance of mitosis?

• Mitosis is essential for growth, development, and tissue repair in multicellular organisms.

• Mitosis is primarily involved in the production of gametes.

• Mitosis is responsible for the synthesis of proteins in cells.

• Mitosis occurs only in unicellular organisms.

What happens during anaphase?

• Sister chromatids are pulled apart by spindle fibers towards opposite poles of the cell.

• Chromosomes align at the cell's equator before separation.

• Nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.

• Cytoplasm divides, resulting in two daughter cells.

How does mitosis differ from meiosis?

• Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse gametes.

• Mitosis occurs in somatic cells, while meiosis occurs in germ cells only.

• Mitosis involves two rounds of cell division, while meiosis involves only one round.

• Mitosis produces gametes, while meiosis produces somatic cells.

What is cytokinesis?

• 
• The phase of mitosis where chromosomes align at the cell's equator.

• The stage of the cell cycle where DNA is replicated.

• The mechanism by which cells communicate with each other.

What happens during prophase?

• Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.

• Chromosomes align at the cell's equator and are pulled apart by spindle fibers.

• The nuclear envelope re-forms around the separated chromosomes, and the cell prepares for cytokinesis.

• Chromatin is replicated, and the cell prepares for DNA synthesis.
