Mitosis and Cell Cycle

Front

What are the stages of mitosis in order?

Back

prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

Front

Why is DNA important?

Back

It provides the instructions/blueprint for a cell.

Front

What are the stages of the cell cycle in order?

Back

G1, S, G2, M

Front

How many new cells are created from one parent cell after THREE rounds of mitosis?

Back

8

Front

What happens during anaphase?

Back

Each DNA gets pulled to the opposite sides of the cell.

Front

What is the function of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

They help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What occurs during prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is the role of centrioles in mitosis?

Back

Centrioles help organize the spindle fibers that separate chromosomes.

Front

What happens during metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and attach to spindle fibers.

Front

What is the significance of the S phase in the cell cycle?

Back

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