Cell Division

Front

What is the final phase of mitosis where the chromosomes arrive at the poles and the nuclear envelope re-forms?

Back

Telophase

Front

What is the purpose of the mitosis cell cycle?

Back

To ensure proper cell division, growth, and repair by replicating the cell's DNA and distributing it equally to daughter cells.

Front

What phase of mitosis is characterized by the alignment of chromosomes along the metaphase plate?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What is the structure that forms when DNA coils around proteins before mitosis?

Back

Chromosome

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where the chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down?

Back

Prophase

Front

During which phase do sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is the term for the division of the cytoplasm that occurs after mitosis?

Back

Cytokinesis

Front

What are the two main types of cell division?

Back

Mitosis and Meiosis

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between chromatin and chromosomes?

Back

Chromatin is the relaxed form of DNA found in the nucleus during interphase, while chromosomes are the condensed form of DNA visible during mitosis.
