What are the main stages of mitosis?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What occurs during prophase of mitosis?

Back

Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What is cytokinesis and how does it relate to mitosis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate daughter cells.

Front
