Mitosis

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is a process of cell division in eukaryotic cells that results in two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Front

Where does mitosis occur?

Back

Mitosis occurs in eukaryotic cells.

Front

What happens during telophase?

Back

During telophase, chromosomes begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin, the nuclear envelope reforms, the spindle fibers break apart, and the nucleolus becomes visible in each daughter cell.

Front

True or False: Daughter cells contain the same DNA as the parent cell.

Back

True.

Front

What phase of mitosis is characterized by the alignment of chromosomes in the middle of the cell?

Back

Metaphase.

Front

What is produced at the end of mitosis?

Back

Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells.

Front

What is the first phase of mitosis?

Back

Prophase.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

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