Front

List the stages of mitosis in order.

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

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.

Front

What structure helps in the separation of chromosomes during mitosis?

Back

Spindle fibers.
