Bio Genetics 3 Mitosis

Question 1

What are the stages of Mitosis?

Answer 1

Interphase
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophases

Question 2

What is Mitosis?

Answer 2

type of cell division when one cell (parent cell) duplicates itself -> two identical (daughter cells)

Question 3

What’s the importance of Mitosis?

Answer 3

its important for growth and repair, as it creates new cells

Question 4

What happens during interphase?

Answer 4

cell prepares to divide, cell replicates DNA to form 46 chromatids

Question 5

What is prophase?

Answer 5

chromosomes condensing + thickening (nucleus still there)

Question 6

What is metaphase?

Answer 6

chromosomes line up in the middle (nucleus is disassembled)

Question 7

What is anaphase?

Answer 7

sister chromatids are moving to opposite ends of the cell by spindles attached to centriole

Question 8

What is a spindle fibre?

Answer 8

spindles are attached to centrioles that help move chromatids to the ends of the cell

Question 9

What is telophase?

Answer 9

chromosomes are at opposite cell ends starting to form a new nucleus
