Front

What are the stages of mitosis in order?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Front

Which stage of mitosis involves the separation of sister chromatids?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What are the points along the cell cycle where the process can be stopped?

Back

Checkpoints

Front

What happens during the S stage of interphase?

Back

The DNA is replicated.

Front

In which phase does the cell spend most of its life?

Back

Interphase

Front

What is the purpose of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

To ensure that the cell is ready to proceed to the next stage.

Front

What is the first stage of mitosis?

Back

Prophase

Front

During which phase do chromosomes line up at the cell's equator?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What occurs during telophase?

Back

The chromosomes de-condense and the nuclear envelope re-forms.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

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