stages of mitosis
The period in the cell cycle when the cell is not dividing; cellular metabolic activity is high, chromosomes and organelles are duplicated, and cell size may increase.
Interphase
True or false: Interphase is the longest phase in the cell cycle.
True
How many phases make up mitosis?
4
The first stage of mitosis, is when the chromatin condenses and the mitotic spindle begins to form.
Prophase
True or False: the shortest stage of mitosis is metaphase.
True
What type of reproduction is occurring during mitosis?
Asexual reproduction
The third stage of mitosis, in which the spindle is complete and the chromosomes, attached to the microtubules at their kinetochores.
Metaphase
True or False: Cytokinesis is included in the phases of mitosis.
False
All of a cell’s genetic information
Gnome
The fourth stage of mitosis, in which the chromatids of each chromosome have separated and the daughter chromosomes are moving to the poles of the cell.
Anaphase
True or false: Interphase is not included in the phases of mitosis.
True
Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of the cell due to the microtubules shortening.
Anaphase
The division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells immediately following mitosis.
telophase/cytokinesis
Chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers and line up along the outside of the cell.
False
Eukaryote has a specific number of chromosomes. How many chromosomes do humans have.
