Mitosis

Front

What is Mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Front

How many cells are produced at the end of Mitosis?

Back

2 identical cells are produced at the end of Mitosis.

Front

What is the first stage of Mitosis?

Back

Prophase is the first stage of Mitosis, where the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes.

Front

What happens during Interphase?

Back

During Interphase, the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for Mitosis.

Front

What is the role of DNA replication in Mitosis?

Back

DNA replication ensures that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.

Front

What occurs during Prophase?

Back

During Prophase, the nuclear membrane breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.

Front

What is Metaphase?

Back

Metaphase is the stage where chromosomes line up at the cell's equator, and spindle fibers attach to their centromeres.

Front

What happens during Anaphase?

Back

During Anaphase, sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Front

What is Telophase?

Back

Telophase is the stage where new nuclear membranes form around each set of chromosomes, and the cell begins to pinch.

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.
