Mitosis Basics
This process allows for damaged cells to be replaced or repaired.
What is mitosis?
This phase is when chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
What is metaphase?
How many cells are produced at the end of mitosis?
2
In this phase, chromosomes are separated and pulled to opposite sides of the cell.
What is anaphase?
In this phase, chromosomes shorten, thicken, and pair up.
What is prophase?
In this phase, the cell pinches in the middle, and is the last phase of mitosis.
What is Telophase?
What structure is responsible for separating chromosomes during anaphase?
Spindle fibers
The phase where the cell splits into two daughter cells is called this.
What is cytokinesis?
About 90% of the time, cells go through this phase during mitosis.
What is interphase?
This phase is when DNA is copied and the cell grows before division.
