Front

What is the process called when the cytoplasm divides to form two new cells?

Back

Cytokinesis

Front

During which phase of mitosis does the nuclear membrane form around each set of chromosomes?

Back

Telophase

Front

In which phase of mitosis do chromosomes become visible and the nuclear membrane begins to disappear?

Back

Prophase

Front

During which phase do chromosome pairs line up along the middle of the cell?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What is the first stage of mitosis?

Back

Prophase

Front

What occurs during metaphase in mitosis?

Back

Chromosomes line up along the equatorial plane of the cell.

Front

What is the significance of cytokinesis in the cell cycle?

Back

It completes the process of cell division, resulting in two daughter cells.

Front

What happens to the chromosomes during anaphase?

Back

Chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

They help separate the chromosomes during cell division.
