Front

What is the division of the cytoplasm called?

Back

In which phase of mitosis do chromatids move to opposite sides of the cell?

Back

Anaphase

Front

Which phase of the cell cycle is #3?

Back

Interphase

Front

What occurs during Prophase?

Back

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

Front

What happens during Metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes line up at the cell's equator and spindle fibers attach to centromeres.

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

To help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis?

Back
