Exploring the Stages of the Cell Cycle and Mitosis

This video from MooMooMath and Science explains the cell cycle and mitosis, detailing the transition from one cell to two. It covers the phases of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, using the acronym PMAT for easy recall. The video also describes interphase, where the cell grows and duplicates its DNA, and concludes with cytokinesis, resulting in two new cells.

What is the correct sequence of phases in mitosis?

• Prophase, Anaphase, Metaphase, Telophase, Interphase

• Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

• Metaphase, Anaphase, Prophase, Telophase, Cytokinesis

• Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis

What mnemonic can help you remember the order of phases in mitosis?

• TAMP

• PMAT

• MAP

• AMP

What is the primary activity of the cell during interphase?

• Chromosomes split and move

• Two nuclei form

• Cell grows and duplicates its DNA

• Chromosomes align in the center

Which phase is known for the alignment of chromosomes in the middle of the cell?

• Prophase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

• Metaphase

During which phase do the chromosomes split and move towards opposite ends of the cell?

• Cytokinesis

• Anaphase

• Telophase

• Metaphase
