Flashcards on Mitosis
Click on the flashcard to see the answer
What is mitosis?
Mitosis is a type of cell division where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
What are the phases of mitosis?
The phases of mitosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
What happens in prophase?
During prophase, the chromatin condenses into chromosomes and the nuclear membrane breaks down.
What happens in metaphase?
During metaphase, the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and spindle fibers attach to them.
What happens in anaphase?
During anaphase, the sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell.
What happens in telophase?
During telophase, the chromosomes reach the opposite poles and nuclear membranes form around them.
What is cytokinesis?
Cytokinesis is the process of dividing the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells.
What is the purpose of mitosis?
The purpose of mitosis is growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.
What is the end result of mitosis?
The end result of mitosis is the formation of two genetically identical daughter cells.
What is the role of spindle fibers in mitosis?
Spindle fibers help in the separation of chromosomes during mitosis.
What is the importance of mitosis in multicellular organisms?
Mitosis allows for growth and repair of tissues in multicellular organisms.
What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically different daughter cells.
What are some examples of cells that undergo mitosis?
Examples of cells that undergo mitosis include skin cells, blood cells, and cells in the digestive tract.
What are centrioles and when are they involved in mitosis?
Centrioles are small structures that help in the formation of spindle fibers during mitosis.
What is the significance of mitosis in the development of an embryo?
Mitosis allows for the rapid growth and development of an embryo from a single fertilized egg.
