______, is considered a preparatory phase for mitosis. What are the key activities that occur during interphase?
Interphase
The shortest of mitosis is metaphase
True
Anastral mitosis is found in
(a) Animals
(b) Higher plants
(c) Bacteria
(d) Cyanobacteria
b
_______ is the stage of cell division in which chromatids (or homologous chromosome pairs) move toward the opposite poles of the spindle apparatus
Anaphase
chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers and line up along the outside of the cell
false
. Late prophase of mitosis is characterised by
(a) Condensation of chromosomes
(b) Disappearance of centromere
(c) Division of centromere
(d) Formation of metaphasic plate
b
_______ is the initial stage of cell division in eukaryotes. During prophase, several crucial events occur:
Prophase
the cytoskeleton moves chromatids to poles of the cell during anaphase
true
In mitosis the duplication of chromosomes occurs during
(a) Early prophase
(b) Late prophase
(c) Interphase
(d) Late telophase
c
a process of cell duplication, or reproduction, during which one cell gives rise to two genetically identical daughter cells.
Mitosis
the cell's chromatin condenses (shortens) during prophase
true
Mitosis occurs in
(a) Haploid individuals
(b) Diploid individuals
(c) Both (a) and (b)
(d) In bacteria only
c
_____ the final stage of cell division in which the spindle disappears and the nucleus forms around each set of daughter chromosomes.
Telophase
the nuclear membrane disintegrates during prophase
true
