200
At which phase do the chromosomes become visible in the cell?
Prophase
200
What is the end result of cytokinesis?
Two identical daughter cells
300
The cell cycle results in two genetically _________ cells.
Identical
300
True or False: Interphase is not included in the phases of mitosis.
True
300

What shape typically represents the Phosphate group?

Circle

300
In which phase do the nuclear envelopes reform around the separated chromosomes?
Telophase

True or False: Cytokinesis is the division of the cell nucleus.
False. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm. Mitosis is the division of the nucleus.

What is the purpose of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

To help prevent cells that are not normal from uncontrollable cell division that can often times lead to tumors (cancer)
