Mitosis

Question 1

Stages

Answer 1

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

Question 2

Definition

Answer 2

The process in which an existing cell divides into two identical daughter cells each with 23 pairs of chromosomes

Question 3

Function

Answer 3

Growth, repair, asexual production (eukaryotes)

Question 4

Interphase

Answer 4

Chromosomes are singles stranded threads

Centrioles divide and move apart

Question 5

Prophase

Answer 5

Chromosomes become short and thick
Chromosomes are double-stranded
Centrioles move to opposite ends of cell

Question 6

Metaphase

Answer 6

Nuclear membrane dissapears
Spindles grow from centrioles and attach to chromosomes
Chromosomes line up at the Equator of cell

Question 7

Anaphase

Answer 7

Spindles pull the doubled stranded chromosomes apart

Double-stranded chromosomes split in half and move to opposite ends of cells

Question 8

Telophase

Answer 8

Chromosomes lengthen
New nuclear membranes form around two daughter nuclei
Cytokinesis occurs and results in two daughter cells

Question 9

Binary fission

Answer 9

Mitosis for asexual reproduction
