mitosis and cell cycle

Front

What is the first phase of mitosis?

Back

Prophase

Front

What structure holds the replicated sister chromatids together during cell division?

Back

Centromere

Front

Which phase of the cell cycle is characterized by cell growth and DNA replication?

Back

Interphase

Front

What are the three main stages of the cell cycle in order?

Back

Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis

Front

What is the final phase of mitosis where the chromosomes decondense?

Back

Telophase

Front

During which phase does the nuclear envelope break down?

Back

Prophase

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

To help separate the sister chromatids and pull them to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What occurs during cytokinesis?

Back

The cytoplasm of the cell divides, resulting in two separate daughter cells.

Front

What is the significance of the G1 phase in interphase?

Back

It is the first gap phase where the cell grows and prepares for DNA synthesis.

Front

What happens during the S phase of interphase?

Back

DNA replication occurs, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.
