Exploring Cell Cycle and Mitosis

Front

What is the correct order of the phases of mitosis?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Front

What structure holds the two sister chromatids together?

Back

Centromere

Front

What does mitosis involve?

Back

The division of the nucleus.

Front

What does cytokinesis involve?

Back

The division of the cytoplasm.

Front

What is a chromatid?

Back

One half of a duplicated chromosome.

Front

Why is DNA replication important before a cell divides?

Back

It ensures that each daughter cell has a complete set of genetic information.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

They help separate the sister chromatids during cell division.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

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

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes line up at the cell's equator.

Front

What happens during anaphase?

Back

Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
