Mitosis

Why is mitosis important for organisms?

• It allows growth and replaces old, dead cells.

• It helps organisms breathe.

• It provides nutrients to cells.

• It removes toxins from the body.

What does the diagram represent?

• A cell undergoing mitosis.

• A cell absorbing nutrients.

• A cell dying.

• A cell shrinking.

Which stage comes after Metaphase in mitosis?

• Anaphase

• Telophase

• Prophase

• Cytokinesis

Which of the following is NOT included as a stage of mitosis?

• Photosynthesis

• Interphase

• Prophase

• Metaphase

Which phase comes after Anaphase?

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Telophase

• Cytokinesis

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of Interphase?

• DNA is uncoiled

• Cell grows in size

• Chromosomes are visible as distinct structures

• Organelles are duplicated

Which of the following is NOT a function of prophase?

• Chromosome alignment at the equator/middle of the cell

• Chromosome condensation

• Spindle fiber formation

• Nuclear envelope breakdown

During which phase of mitosis do chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plate?

• Metaphase

• Prophase

• Anaphase

• Interphase

Which of the following best describes what happens during metaphase in mitosis?

• Chromosomes align at the cell's equator

• Chromosomes condense and become visible

• Chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles

• The nuclear envelope reforms

What is the correct order of mitosis phases starting from the first?

• Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, cytokinesis

• Interphase, Metaphase, Prophase, Anaphase, Telophase, cytokinesis

• Cytokinesis, Anaphase, Metaphase, Prophase, Telophase, Interphase

• Interphase, Telophase, Anaphase, Metaphase, Prophase, Cytokinesis
