What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process where the cytoplasm divides to form two daughter cells after mitosis.

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication.

Front

What happens during anaphase?

Back

Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell.

Front

What is telophase?

Back

The final phase of mitosis where the chromosomes begin to de-condense and the nuclear envelope re-forms.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, including growth and DNA replication.
