MITOSIS/CELL CYCLE ANIMATION VIDEO Q'S

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is the series of phases that a cell goes through to grow and divide, including interphase and mitotic phase.

Front

What happens during interphase?

Back

During interphase, the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for mitosis.

Front

What is the role of the spindle apparatus?

Back

The spindle apparatus is responsible for moving and separating chromosomes during mitosis.

Front

What occurs during prophase?

Back

During prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and the spindle apparatus begins to form.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

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

Front

What happens to the nucleus during prophase?

Back

The nucleus disappears during prophase.

Front

What marks the beginning of mitosis?

Back

The beginning of mitosis is marked by chromatin coiling into chromosomes.

Front

What occurs during anaphase?

Back

During anaphase, sister chromatids are pulled apart and move to opposite ends of the cell.

Front

What is the result of cytokinesis?

Back

The result of cytokinesis is the formation of two genetically identical daughter cells.
