2.6.1 Mitosis

Question 1

What is produced in mitosis?

Answer 1

Two Genetically Identical daughter cells

Question 2

What is the Interphase Stage of the cell cyle?

Answer 2

Chromosomes and some organelles are replicated and Chromosomes begin to condense (G1, S, G2)

Question 3

What is the Cytokinesis stage of the cell cycle?

What are the four stages of Mitosis?

Answer 4

Prophase
Metaphase

Nuclear envelope breaks down
Chromosomes condese
Spindle Fibres form at poles

Question 6

Answer 6

Spindle FIbres move Chromosomes to equator attatched at the Centromere

Question 7

What occurs in Anaphase of Mitosis?

Answer 7

Sister chromatids seperate

Question 8

What occurs in Telophase of Mitosis?

Answer 8

Nuclear envelope reforms creating two daughter cells
Spindle is broken down
Chromosomes uncoil
