Cell Division

Front

Duplicated chromosomes are made up of two identical _____________.

Back

sister chromatids

Front

How does cytokinesis differ in plant and animal cells?

Back

Plant cells form a cell plate, animal cells pinch in two.

Front

Put the stages of mitosis in the correct order.

Back

prophase - metaphase - anaphase - telophase

Front

In which stage, does chromatin condense and become visible?

Back

prophase

Front

Where do the microtubules of the spindle originate during mitosis in animal cells?

Back

centrosome

Front

What is the purpose of mitosis?

Back

To ensure equal distribution of duplicated chromosomes to daughter cells.

Front

Define cytokinesis.

Back

The process of cytoplasmic division that follows mitosis, resulting in two separate cells.

Front

What is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What happens during metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, and spindle fibers attach to the kinetochores.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse gametes.
