Back

It allows the cell to divide into genetically identical daughter cells.

Front

What is the outcome of mitosis?

Front

How is cancer characterized in terms of cell division?

Back

Uncontrolled cell division.

Front

What happens to a cell that undergoes repeated mitosis without cytokinesis?

Back

It would have many nuclei.

Front

What occurs during interphase?

Back

DNA gets copied.

Front

What are chromatids?

Back

Chromatids are the two identical halves of a duplicated chromosome.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Front

What is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromatids and pull them to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is the significance of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is crucial for growth, development, and repair in organisms.
