Quick 10Q: Mitosis

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles of the cell?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is the correct order of processes in the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis

Front

In which phase do sister chromatids align on the plate in the middle of the cell?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What occurs before the process of mitosis?

Back

DNA is replicated

Front

What phase involves the pairing of sister chromatids and condensation of chromatin into chromosomes?

Back

Prophase

Front

What is the role of microtubules during mitosis?

Back

They help separate sister chromatids during Anaphase.

Front

What happens during Telophase?

Back

The chromosomes begin to de-condense, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process of dividing the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells.

Front

What is the significance of interphase in the cell cycle?

Back

It is the phase where the cell grows and DNA is replicated before mitosis.

Front

What is chromatin?

Back

A complex of DNA and protein found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, which condenses to form chromosomes during mitosis.
