Miosis

• What is the M Phase in the cell cycle?

  The M Phase is where the cell divides.
• What are the main steps included in the M Phase?

  • Mitosis
  • Cytokinesis
• What happens during Prophase of mitosis?

  Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear membrane dissolves, and spindle fibers begin to form.
• Why is the nuclear membrane important during Prophase?

  It dissolves to allow the chromosomes to be separated during mitosis.
• What occurs during Metaphase of mitosis?

  Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plate.
• What is the significance of chromosome alignment during Metaphase?

  It ensures that each daughter cell will receive an equal set of chromosomes.
• What happens during Anaphase of mitosis?

  Sister chromatids are pulled apart toward opposite poles of the cell.
• Why is the separation of sister chromatids important during Anaphase?

  It ensures that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes.
• What occurs during Telophase of mitosis?

  Chromatids reach the cell poles, nuclear membranes re-form, and chromosomes begin to de-condense.
• What is the role of the nuclear membrane during Telophase?

  It re-forms around each set of chromosomes to create two nuclei.
• What is the final step of the M Phase?

  Cytokinesis occurs, dividing the cytoplasm and resulting in two daughter cells.
• What is the outcome of cytokinesis?

  It results in two daughter cells, each with a complete set of chromosomes.
• What are the stages of mitosis in order?

  1. Prophase
  2. Metaphase
  3. Anaphase
  4. Telophase
