Mitosis

What is Mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process by which a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell.

Front

What happens during Telophase?

Back

During Telophase, the nuclear membrane forms around the separated chromosomes, and the cell begins to divide into two.

Why is DNA replication important before cell division?

Back

DNA replication is crucial before cell division to ensure that genetic information is accurately transferred to daughter cells.

Front

What is the role of the Centriole in cell division?

Back

The Centriole helps in cell division by producing spindle fibers that assist in separating chromosomes.

Front

List the stages of Mitosis in order.

Back

The stages of Mitosis in order are: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What process do multi-cellular organisms use to replace damaged cells?

Back

Multi-cellular organisms use mitosis to replace damaged body cells.

Front

Define Chromosome.

Back

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

Front

What are spindle fibers?

Back

Spindle fibers are protein structures that help separate chromosomes during cell division.

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.

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.
