Back

Back

Daughter cells

Front

What is the purpose of Mitosis?

Front

What is Mitosis?

Back

The process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.

Front

What happens during Prophase?

Back

Chromosomes condense and become visible, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What occurs during Metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.

Front

What is the role of DNA in cell division?

Back

DNA carries the genetic information that is copied and passed to daughter cells.

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

The process that follows Mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides to form two separate cells.
