What is Anaphase?

• The third stage of mitosis, characterized by the separation and movement of sister chromatids to opposite poles of the cell.

• The process of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

• The second stage of mitosis, where the condensed chromosomes align along the metaphase plate, a central plane within the cell.

• The nitrogenous compounds that make up the rungs of the DNA double helix. The four bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).

What is DNA?

• A molecule that carries the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and many viruses.

• The process of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

• The first stage of mitosis, during which the chromosomes condense, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and the spindle fibers begin to form.

• The nitrogenous compounds that make up the rungs of the DNA double helix. The four bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).

What is Metaphase?

• The first stage of mitosis, during which the chromosomes condense, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and the spindle fibers begin to form.

• The process of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

What is Telophase?

• The final stage of mitosis, during which the separated chromosomes reach the opposite poles of the cell, and new nuclear envelopes form around them.

• The process of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

• The second stage of mitosis, where the condensed chromosomes align along the metaphase plate, a central plane within the cell.

• The nitrogenous compounds that make up the rungs of the DNA double helix. The four bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).

What is Cell Division?

• The process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells, ensuring growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues.

• The process of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

• The second stage of mitosis, where the condensed chromosomes align along the metaphase plate, a central plane within the cell.

• The nitrogenous compounds that make up the rungs of the DNA double helix. The four bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).

What are Genetic Disorders?

• Disorders caused by abnormalities in an individual's DNA. These conditions are often inherited and can affect various aspects of health and development.

• The process of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

• The second stage of mitosis, where the condensed chromosomes align along the metaphase plate, a central plane within the cell.

• The final stage of mitosis, during which the separated chromosomes reach the opposite poles of the cell, and new nuclear envelopes form around them.
