Quick 10Q: Mitosis

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles of the cell?

Back

Anaphase

Front

In which phase of mitosis do sister chromatids align on the metaphase plate in the middle of the cell?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What is the correct order of processes in the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis

Front

Which phase of mitosis involves the pairing of sister chromatids and condensation of chromatin into chromosomes?

Back

Prophase

Front

What checkpoint in the cell cycle determines whether the cell should divide?

Back

G1

Front

What is the phase of mitosis that follows Anaphase?

Back

Telophase

Front

What occurs during Prophase in mitosis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of microtubules during Anaphase?

Back

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

Front

What happens during Telophase?

Back

Chromosomes arrive at opposite poles, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

The process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two daughter cells.
