Exploring Mitosis and Cytokinesis Steps

The video tutorial explains the process of cell division, focusing on mitosis and cytokinesis. It describes how eukaryotic cells divide their nucleus through mitosis and their cytoplasm through cytokinesis. The stages of mitosis—prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase—are detailed, highlighting the role of centrioles, spindle fibers, and chromosomes. The video also covers cytokinesis, noting differences in plant cells. The tutorial concludes with a call to action for viewers to engage on social media.

What triggers the division of eukaryotic cells?

• Mitochondria

• Ribosomes

• Proteins

• Lipids

What is the first stage of mitosis called?

• Anaphase

• Prophase

• Telophase

• Metaphase

During which phase do centrioles begin to form spindle fibers?

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Telophase

• Cytokinesis

What structure do chromosomes align at during metaphase?

• Middle of the cell

• Nuclear envelope

• Centromere

• Cell membrane

What happens to chromatids during anaphase?

• They form the cell plate

• They separate at the centromere

• They attach to spindle fibers

• They coil into chromatin

What marks the end of mitosis?

• Separation of chromatids

• Uncoiling of chromosomes into chromatin

• Disassembly of spindle fibers

• Formation of cell plate

What is the process called that divides the cytoplasm in animal cells?

• Mitosis

• Cytokinesis

• Prophase

• Telophase

How is cytokinesis different in plant cells compared to animal cells?

• Disassembly of nuclear membrane

• Formation of cleavage furrow

• Formation of a cell plate

• Use of centrioles

What structure becomes the cell wall in plant cells during cytokinesis?

• Cell plate

• Cleavage furrow

• Spindle fiber

• Chromatid

What is the final result of mitosis and cytokinesis in plant cells?

• One single cell

• Four daughter cells

• Two different cells

• Two identical nuclei
