Mitosis/Meiosis review Flashcards
(19 cards)
What is mitosis?
Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.
How many stages are there in mitosis?
There are five main stages in mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.
True or False: Mitosis occurs only in prokaryotic cells.
False: Mitosis occurs in eukaryotic cells.
What happens during prophase?
During prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.
Fill in the blank: During ________, chromosomes line up at the cell’s equator.
metaphase
What is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis?
Spindle fibers help to separate the chromosomes and pull them to opposite ends of the cell.
What happens during anaphase?
During anaphase, sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
True or False: Telophase is the final stage of mitosis.
True: Telophase is the final stage of mitosis before cytokinesis.
What occurs during telophase?
During telophase, the nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes, which begin to decondense.
What is cytokinesis?
Cytokinesis is the process that divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells.
Multiple Choice: Which stage follows metaphase in mitosis? A) Prophase B) Anaphase C) Telophase
B) Anaphase
Fill in the blank: The phase where chromosomes are replicated before mitosis begins is called ______.
interphase
True or False: Each daughter cell has the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell after mitosis.
True: Each daughter cell is genetically identical to the parent cell.
What is chromatin?
Chromatin is the material that makes up chromosomes, consisting of DNA and proteins.
What happens to the nuclear envelope during prophase?
The nuclear envelope breaks down during prophase.
Multiple Choice: What structure forms to help separate chromosomes during mitosis? A) Centrioles B) Cell wall C) Golgi apparatus
A) Centrioles
What is the significance of mitosis in organisms?
Mitosis is significant for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction in organisms.
True or False: Mitosis results in four daughter cells.
False: Mitosis results in two daughter cells.
