Mitosis Review

What is anaphase?

• The stage where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

• The phase where chromosomes align at the cell's equator.

• The period when the nuclear envelope re-forms around the separated chromosomes.

• The stage where DNA is replicated before cell division.

DNA is replicated during which phase of the cell cycle?

• G1 Phase

• Synthesis

• G2 Phase

• M Phase

Where does the cell contain its genetic makeup?

• Cytoplasm

• Mitochondria

• Nucleus

• Ribosome

What is mitosis?

• The process by which body cells divide into two.

• A type of cell death that occurs in tissues.

• The process of DNA replication before cell division.

• A method of genetic recombination in bacteria.

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

• They help separate the chromosomes during cell division.

• They assist in the formation of the nuclear envelope.

• They are responsible for DNA replication.

• They provide structural support to the cell membrane.

What happens during prophase?

• Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

• The chromosomes align at the cell's equator.

• The nuclear envelope fully dissolves, allowing the nucleolus to be visible.

• Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

A cell spends most of its life in what stage?

• Interphase

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

What is interphase?

• The phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for mitosis, including DNA replication.

• The stage of cell division where chromosomes are separated.

• The period when the cell is inactive and not dividing.

• The phase where the cell undergoes cytokinesis.

What happens during telophase?

• Nuclear membranes reform around each set of chromosomes, which begin to de-condense.

• Chromosomes align at the cell's equator.

• Spindle fibers pull chromosomes apart to opposite poles.

• Cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.

True or false: Living things grow when their cells get bigger.

• True

• False

• Only in plants
