• identical to the original cell

What stage of Mitosis is being described:

Cell carries out its normal functions, grows and

prepares to divide, and the DNA is copied/duplicated.

This stage is the resting phase of the cell cycle and

cells spend most of their time in this phase.

• Interphase

• Telophase

• Anaphase

Before cells can divide, what must be copied?

• mitochondria

• cytoplasm

• DNA

Mitosis produces how many daughter cells ?

• 6

• 4

• 2

What happens in cytokinesis?

• The chromosomes align in the middle of the cell

• The DNA is duplicated

• The cytoplasm divides into two new daughter cells

What kind of cells does mitosis create?

• body cells, like muscle, skin, and bone cells

• red blood cells

• gametes

The second stage of the cell cycle during which the cell’s nucleus divides into two new nuclei and one set of DNA disturbed into each daughter cell 

• Osmosis

• Mitosis

• Interphase Replication

• Cytokinesis

What is the primary purpose of mitosis in multicellular organisms?

• Growth and repair of tissues

• Production of gametes

• Exchange of genetic material

• Photosynthesis

During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes align at the center of the cell?

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

Which structure is responsible for pulling sister chromatids apart during mitosis?

• Centrosome

• Spindle fibers

• Nuclear envelope

• Cell membrane
