20. Mitosis

Front

What phase of mitosis involves the condensation of DNA into visible chromosomes?

Back

Prophase

Front

What happens during anaphase in mitosis?

Back

Each DNA gets pulled to the opposite sides of the cell.

Front

What are the two new cells called after a cell divides?

Back

Daughter cells.

Front

Where is a cell's genetic material located?

Back

In the nucleus.

Front

What is the next stage after telophase in the cell cycle?

Back

Cytokinesis.

Front

What is the purpose of mitosis?

Back

To ensure equal distribution of genetic material to daughter cells.

Front

What are the main stages of mitosis?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.

Front

What is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

To help separate the chromosomes during anaphase.

Front

How does cytokinesis differ in plant and animal cells?

Back

In animal cells, the cell membrane pinches inwards; in plant cells, a cell plate forms.
