Mitosis

Cards (18)

  • Interphase is the phase that occurs before mitosis, during which the cell grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for cell division.
  • Anaphase is the third stage of mitosis where sister chromatids separate from each other and move towards opposite poles of the cell, pulled apart by spindle fibers.
  • Metaphase is the second stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up along the equatorial plane of the cell, attached by their centromeres to spindle fibers.
  • Prophase is the first stage of mitosis where chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.
  • Interphase is the longest phase, during which the cell grows and prepares to divide.
  • The cell cycle is the series of events that occur between one cell division and another.
  • Telophase is the final stage of mitosis, during which the chromosomes reach the opposite poles of the cell and decondense into chromatin.
  • Cytokinesis is the final stage of mitosis, during which the cytoplasm divides and two daughter cells are formed.
  • Telophase is the fourth and final stage of mitosis where new nuclear envelopes form around each set of daughter chromosomes, and cytokinesis begins to divide the cytoplasm into two cells.
  • Prophase is the first stage of mitosis where chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers begin forming.
  • Cytokinesis is the process of dividing the cytoplasm of a single cell into two identical daughter cells.
  • Telophase is the final stage of mitosis where new nuclei form at either end of the dividing cell, chromosomes uncoil back into chromatin, and the nuclear membrane reforms around them.
  • The stages of mitosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.
  • Cytokinesis is the process of dividing the cytoplasm of a parent cell into two daughter cells.
  • Mitosis is the process by which eukaryotic cells divide to produce genetically identical daughter cells.
  • Cell division occurs through mitosis or meiosis.
  • Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces four haploid daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
  • Interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle where DNA replication occurs and the cell grows and prepares for division.
