Mitosis-Robinson Edit

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division where a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells, specifically involving the division of the nucleus.

Front

What are the main stages of mitosis?

Back

The main stages of mitosis are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, and Cytokinesis.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

During prophase, chromosomes become visible, and the nuclear membrane begins to disappear.

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

During metaphase, chromosome pairs line up along the middle of the cell.

Front

What is the fifth stage of the cell cycle?

Back

The fifth stage of the cell cycle is Telophase.

Front

True or False: The cell cycle includes the process of a cell taking in food and using it to grow.

Back

True.

Front

What is the role of the nucleus during mitosis?

Back

The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material and is divided during mitosis to ensure each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division where the cytoplasm of a parental cell is divided into two daughter cells.

Front

What is the significance of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is crucial for growth, development, and repair in multicellular organisms, allowing for the production of new cells.

Front

What happens during anaphase?

Back

During anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
