G1, S, G2, M

Front

What is the final phase of mitosis called?

Back

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Front

In mitosis, how do the resulting cells compare to the starting cell?

Back

Identical to the starting cell and identical to each other.

Front

If a fruit fly has 8 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have after mitosis?

Back

8 chromosomes.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What happens during prophase of mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

They help separate the chromosomes and pull them to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process that divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells.
