Mitosis

Front

What is Mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.

Front

What phase of mitosis involves the alignment of chromosomes at the cell's equator?

Back

Metaphase is the phase of mitosis where chromosomes align at the cell's equator.

Front

In which phase of the cell cycle does DNA replication occur?

Back

DNA replication occurs during the Synthesis (S) phase of the cell cycle.

Front

What are chromosomes?

Back

Chromosomes are structures made of DNA and protein that contain genetic information.

Front

What is Interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell spends most of its life, preparing for mitosis.

Front

What is the role of centrioles in cell division?

Back

Centrioles help in organizing the mitotic spindle during cell division.

Front

What happens during Prophase?

Back

During Prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is Anaphase?

Back

Anaphase is the phase of mitosis where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What occurs during Telophase?

Back

During Telophase, the chromosomes reach the poles, the nuclear envelope re-forms, and the cell begins to divide.

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.
