Front

What is the correct sequence of mitosis?

Back

prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

Front

Why must cells of organisms go through cell division?

Back

For growth, repair of damaged cells, and replacement of dying cells.

Front

In which phase do cells spend the majority of their lives?

Back

Interphase

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The stage of the cell cycle where the rest of the cell divides after mitosis is complete.

Front

During which phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?

Back

Synthesis (S phase)

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

Chromosomes condense and become visible, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

Chromosomes line up at the cell's equatorial plane.

Front

What is anaphase?

Back

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

Front

What is telophase?

Back

Chromatids reach the poles, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.

Front

What is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis?

Back

They help separate the chromosomes during cell division.
