mitosis

• What is the primary purpose of mitosis?

  Growth and repair
• What type of cells are produced at the end of mitosis?

  2 diploid
• What is the main outcome of meiosis?

  Four genetically different cells
• What is one purpose of mitosis in multicellular organisms?

  Repairing damaged tissues
• What does the term 'diploid' refer to?

  Two sets of chromosomes
• Meiosis results in genetically identical cells.

  False
• What are the two types of cell division shown in the image?

  Mitosis and meiosis
• What is the outcome of mitosis in terms of cell number?

  Two identical cells
• Meiosis creates four genetically identical cells.

  False
• What happens to the nuclear envelope during prophase?

  It breaks down
• What is the purpose of the spindle apparatus during prophase?

  Chromosome movement
• Match the phase with its key event:

  Prophase ↔️ Chromosome condensation

  Metaphase ↔️ Chromosomes align

  Anaphase ↔️ Chromatids separate

  Telophase ↔️ New nuclei form
• What is 'genetic variation'?

  Differences in DNA
• Chromosomes become more visible during telophase due to condensation.

  False
• What are the two structures labeled at opposite ends of the cell in the image?

  Spindle poles
• What happens to the chromosomes during prophase?

  They condense
• What is the role of interpolar microtubules during anaphase?

  They push the poles apart
• Match the phase of mitosis with its key events:

  Prophase ↔️ Nuclear envelope breaks down

  Telophase ↔️ Nuclear envelopes reform
• What happens during telophase?

  New nuclei form
• What happens to chromosomes during metaphase?

  Align at the equator
• What does the term 'haploid' refer to?

  One set of chromosomes
• Why is the precise alignment of chromosomes during metaphase important?

  Ensures equal genetic distribution
• What type of cells does mitosis create?

  Identical body cells
• What is the primary role of telophase in mitosis?

  End of mitosis
• What are the ends of a chromosome called?

  Telomeres
• What happens to sister chromatids during anaphase?

  They separate and are pulled apart
• Match the process with its purpose:

  Mitosis ↔️ Growth, repair, asexual reproduction

  Meiosis ↔️ Sexual reproduction
