Mitosis

Front

What happens during the G1 stage of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell grows, matures, and carries on normal activities.

Front

Which phase of the cell cycle does the cell spend the most time in?

Back

Interphase.

Front

What occurs during Telophase?

Back

The nuclear membrane reforms around the new daughter cells, and the cytoplasm begins to 'pinch' in.

Front

What happens during Anaphase?

Back

Chromatids separate.

Front

What is a Centriole?

Back

A structure involved in cell division that helps in the formation of spindle fibers.

Front

What is the purpose of Mitosis?

Back

To divide a single cell into two identical daughter cells.

Front

What are the main stages of Mitosis?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

Front

What is Interphase?

Back

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, including G1, S, and G2 phases.

Front

What occurs during Prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers?

Back

To help separate the chromosomes during cell division.
