Why
Why does mitosis divide equally
So the daughter cells don't have the wrong number of chromosomes
What gets divided during mitosis
A eukaryotic cell
Mitosis has ______ stages
five
When cell divide sister ______ separate and 1 goes to each new cell
Chromatids
What happens during interphase
The cell grows and copies its DNA
What would happen if mitosis didn't happen
You couldn't make new cells
What is mitosis
When a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells
T/F telophase is the 4th phase
False
What happens during mitosis
A eukaryotic cell undergoes a division that results in two identical daughter cells
What is the result of a cell not being able to control its growth
Cancer
What is the purpose of mitosis
Cell regeneration, growth, and cell replacement
What is cytokinesis
The phase where cytoplasm undergoes division
Metaphase
What happens during cytokinesis
Cell cytoplasm divides
T/F in interphase chromosomes are copied
True
What causes mitosis
We need to grow
What type of reproduction takes place during mitosis
asexual reproduction
List the stages of mitosis in order
Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
During what phase does the chromatin condense
During prophase
During what phase do Centromeres split apart
During Anaphase
Why does a cell need mitosis
So the DNA of the cell doesn't get too stressed
What are chromosomes
Double, coiled, short DNA in a diving cell
In what phase does a new nuclear envelope appear
Telophase
What happens if there is an error in the mitosis process
It could create a daughter cell with too many or too few chromosomes
What happens during metaphase
The nucleus disappears and the chromosomes appear in the cytoplasm
