Cell Division Test Corrections

Front

What is the first phase of mitosis?

Back

Prophase

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The division of the cytoplasm during cell division.

Front

During which part of the cell cycle is DNA copied?

Back

S phase.

Front

What is the correct order of mitosis?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.

Front

What happens during anaphase?

Back

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

Front

What is telophase?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis?

Back

Mitosis is the division of the nucleus, while cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.
