Mitosis Song

The video tutorial explains the process of mitosis, a type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells. It covers the stages of mitosis: interphase, where DNA and centrosomes are copied; prophase, where chromosomes condense and the mitotic spindle forms; metaphase, where chromosomes align at the cell's center; anaphase, where sister chromatids separate; and telophase, where the cell completes division through cytokinesis. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of mitosis in growth and cell replacement.

What is the primary purpose of mitosis in the body?

• To produce energy

• To eliminate waste

• To develop and replace old cells

• To create genetic diversity

During which phase is the DNA within the cell copied?

• Interphase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Prophase

What happens to chromosomes during prophase?

• They are pulled apart

• They condense into x-shapes

• They line up in the middle of the cell

• They are copied

In which phase do sister chromatids separate?

• Anaphase

• Prophase

• Telophase

• Interphase

What is the process called when the cytoplasm splits during telophase?

• Meiosis

• Cytokinesis

• Mitosis

• Spindle formation
