Cell Division and Chromosome Functions

The video tutorial explains the process of cell division, starting with the duplication of chromosomes. It covers the stages of mitosis, including prophase, where chromatin condenses, metaphase, where chromosomes align at the equator, and anaphase, where chromatids separate to opposite poles. The tutorial concludes with the completion of mitosis, resulting in two identical cells.

What is the primary role of chromosomes during cell division?

• To store nutrients

• To protect the cell from damage

• To provide energy for the cell

• To carry genetic information

During which phase does chromatin condense into visible chromosomes?

• Interphase

• Metaphase

• Prophase

• Anaphase

What structure is responsible for aligning chromosomes at the cell's equator?

• Mitotic spindle

• Ribosome

• Cell membrane

• Nucleus

What happens to chromatids during anaphase?

• They dissolve

• They align at the equator

• They condense into chromatin

• They are pulled to opposite poles

What is the result of the cell division process described in the video?

• One larger cell

• Two identical cells

• No change in the cell

• Four different cells
