Cell Cycle, Mitosis, Cell Division

Front

What are the stages of the cell cycle in order?

Back

Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis.

Front

What is the haploid number of chromosomes in humans?

Back

23.

Front

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

Back

Metaphase.

Front

During which phase of mitosis does the nuclear membrane reform?

Back

Telophase.

Front

What is the main purpose of mitosis?

Back

To produce two identical daughter cells for growth and repair.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between haploid and diploid cells?

Back

Haploid cells have one set of chromosomes (n), while diploid cells have two sets (2n).

Front

What occurs during anaphase?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of the centromere during cell division?

Back

It holds sister chromatids together and is the attachment point for spindle fibers.

Front

What is the significance of interphase in the cell cycle?

Back

It is the phase where the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.
