The Cell Cycle/Mitosis

Front

What is the process by which a cell nucleus divides?

Back

Mitosis.

Front

True or False: After a cell goes through cytokinesis, it immediately starts mitosis all over again.

Back

False.

Front

Which of the following is NOT a phase of the cell cycle: Interphase, Monophase, Anaphase, Telophase?

Back

Monophase.

Front

What is the final stage of the M phase/cell division called?

Back

Cytokinesis.

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA to produce two daughter cells.

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, M phase (Mitosis and Cytokinesis).

Front

What occurs during Interphase?

Back

The cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.

Front

What is the role of mitosis in the cell cycle?

Back

To ensure that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.

Front

What happens during prophase of mitosis?

Back

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