Cell Division

Front

What are the stages of mitosis in the correct order?

Back

prophase - metaphase - anaphase - telophase

Front

How does cytokinesis differ in plant and animal cells?

Back

Plant cells form a cell plate, animal cells form a cleavage furrow.

Front

What is the purpose of the mitosis cell cycle?

Back

To make more of the same cells, for growth and repair, and to prevent the cell from becoming too large.

Front

In which stage of mitosis are chromosomes separated and moved to opposite poles?

Back

anaphase

Front

What happens during anaphase?

Back

The sister chromatids separate (pull apart) from each other.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical cells, while meiosis results in four genetically diverse cells.

Front

What role do spindle fibers play in mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What is the significance of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is crucial for growth, development, and tissue repair.
