Mitosis

Front

What is the phase of mitosis where chromosomes divide and move towards opposite poles?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What are the two stages of the cell cycle that are not part of mitosis?

Back

Interphase and Cytokinesis

Front

What is the correct order of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis

Front

What happens to the amount of DNA in the nucleus just before mitosis begins?

Back

The amount of DNA is doubled so that the two new cells each have the same original amount.

Front

What is the main purpose of mitosis?

Back

To ensure that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.

Front

What are the four main phases of mitosis?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

During which phase do chromosomes align at the cell's equator?

Back

Metaphase.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides to form two separate daughter cells.

Front

What role does interphase play in the cell cycle?

Back

It is the phase where the cell prepares for mitosis by growing and replicating its DNA.

Front

What is the significance of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back

They ensure that the cell is ready to proceed to the next phase and that any DNA damage is repaired.
