Mitosis Cell Cycle Review

Front

What is the correct order of phases in Mitosis?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Front

What is the longest period of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase

Front

What phase of the cell cycle is characterized by the division of the cytoplasm?

Back

Cytokinesis

Front

During which phase is DNA synthesized?

Back

S phase

Front

What occurs during the M phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The nucleus divides into two nuclei and the DNA separates.

Front

What is the main purpose of Interphase?

Back

The cell grows, develops, and prepares for division.

Front

What happens during Prophase?

Back

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is Metaphase characterized by?

Back

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.

Front

What occurs during Anaphase?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of Telophase?

Back

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