Mitosis

Question 1

What does Mitosis produce?

What is Mitosis used for?

What is mitosis?

Answer 1

Mitosis produces 2 daughter cells both genetically identical

Mitosis is used for cell growth, repair and reproduction.

Mitosis is nuclear division

Question 2

What is the cell cycle stage?

Answer 2

Cell cycle stage: G1,S-Phase,G2,Mitosis

Interphase:G1, S-Phase and G2

Question 3

What occurs in interphase?

Answer 3

Interphase: G1, S-Phase and G2

G1-Protein Synthesis and cell grows larger

S-Phase - DNA Replication

G2- Additional Growth of the cell

Chromosome not visible in prophase

Question 4

What occurs in Prophase?

Answer 4

Prophase:

Chromosome condense and becomes a visible

Nuclear envelope breaks down to allow cell to divide later on

Mitotic Spindles form

Question 5

What is Metaphase?

Answer 5

Chromosome line up at the equator of the cell

Mitotic Spindles attach to centromere

Question 6

What is Anaphase?

Answer 6

Sister chromatids Separate at centromere and pulled to opposite poles of the cell by the mitotic Spindles

Question 7

What is telophase?

Answer 7

Mitotic Spindles disappear and nuclear Envelope reformed

Chromosome start to de-condense

Question 8

What is the last stage Mitosis?

Answer 8

Cytokenisis - cell division occurs

Question 9

What is the definition of Cytokenisis?

Answer 9

Division of the cell

Question 10

How do cells divide in prokaryotic cells?

Answer 10

Binary fission

Question 11

What is the first two steps in Binary Fission?

Answer 11

DNA copies and replicates it self both copies stay attached to cell membrane

Bacteria grows larger and the 2 DNA stands separate and move to either end of membrane

Question 12

How are two new prokaryotic cells produced?

[last two steps in Binary Fission]

Answer 12

The bacteria grows larger and 2DNA strands move to either side of membrane

Cell membrane bend inwards in the middle

Cytokenisis occurs producing 2 daughter cells produced with variable DNA molecules in them
