Question 1

what are the phases of mitosis

Answer 1

prophase
prometaphase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase
cytokinesis

Question 2

what is the goal of mitosis

Answer 2

to divide cells into identical daughter cells

Question 3

how are chromatids held together

Answer 3

the centromere

Question 4

what happens in prophase

Answer 4

chromatin condenses into chromosomes, two sister chromosomes joined at the centromere and the mitotic spindle forms

Question 5

what happens in prometaphase

Answer 5

the nuclear envelope falls apart and the microtubules can bind to the chromosomes

Question 6

what happens in metaphase

Answer 6

the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and the spindle fibers attach

Question 7

what happens in anaphase

Answer 7

the chromosomes get pulled apart into sister chromatids and then the spindle fibers pull them to opposite sides of the cell

Question 8

what happens in telophase

Answer 8

daughter nuclei start to form and the nuclear envelope starts to appear and then dna decondenses and the spindle starts to depolymerize

Question 9

what happens in cytokinesis

Answer 9

the cytoplasm splits and forms two identical daughter cells
