What pulls the chromosomes apart during cell division?

Back

Spindle fibers are responsible for pulling chromosomes apart during cell division.

Front

What protein is released at checkpoints to promote cell division?

Back

Cyclin is a protein that promotes cell division at specific checkpoints in the cell cycle.

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is the series of phases that a cell goes through to grow and divide.

Front

What happens during interphase?

Back

During interphase, the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.

Front

What role do checkpoints play in the cell cycle?

Back

Checkpoints in the cell cycle ensure that the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase, preventing errors.

Front

What is the function of spindle fibers?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate chromosomes during cell division.
