Mitosis

Front

What do the 'X' shapes represent inside of the nucleus?

Back

Chromosomes

Front

What is the purpose of Mitosis?

Back

Growth of an organism and Repair of damaged tissue

Front

During what phase of Mitosis do the chromosomes line up in the middle?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What are the phases of Mitosis in the correct order?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Front

In which phase of Mitosis do the Chromosomes pull apart?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is Mitosis?

Back

A process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.

Front

What happens during Prophase?

Back

Chromosomes condense and become visible; the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What occurs during Telophase?

Back

Chromosomes arrive at opposite poles and begin to de-condense; the nuclear envelope re-forms.

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

The process that follows Mitosis, dividing the cytoplasm and organelles into two daughter cells.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers in Mitosis?

Back

They help separate the chromosomes during cell division.
