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

In what cells does Meiosis occur?

Reproductive cells

300

In which phase does the nuclear membranes reform around the separated chromosomes?

Telophase

300
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.
400
The cell cycle state where the cell grows to its full size, copies the DNA and organelles and prepares to divide is called the ________________.
Interphase
400

True or False: Mitosis is asexual reproduction and the parent cells are identical to the daughter cells.

True

400
