Mitosis

What is Mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.

What phase of Mitosis do the chromosomes line up in the middle?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What happens during Telophase?

Back

Two nuclear envelopes reform around the separated chromosomes.

Front

What is a chromosome?

Back

A chromosome is a structure made of DNA and proteins that contains genetic information.

Front

How many daughter cells are produced in mitosis?

Back

2

Front

What phase of the cell cycle is DNA copied?

Back

Interphase

Front

What is the role of the centromere?

Back

The centromere is the region of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids are joined together.

Front

What occurs during Prophase?

Back

During Prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.

Front

What are sister chromatids?

Back

Sister chromatids are identical copies of a chromosome, connected by a centromere.
