G6: MITOSIS

Question 1

It is the process by which a cell replicates its chromosomes
and then segregates them, producing two identical nuclei in
preparation for cell division

Answer 1

Mitosis

Question 2

IS THE PERIOD WHEN THE CELL IS IN A NON-DIVIDING STATE.
IT IS THE PHASE IN WHICH THE CELL SPENDS MOST OF ITS
LIFE

Answer 2

INTERPHASE

Question 3

The cell undergoes
protein synthesis under
this stage.

Answer 3

FIRST GAP PHASE

Question 4

The chromosomes of

the cells are replicated.

Answer 4

SYNTHESIS PHASE

Question 5

This involves developing
cytoplasmic organelles
necessary for cell division.

Answer 5

SECOND GAP PHASE

Question 6

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE PROCESS OF PROPHASE?

Answer 6

1. the chromatin fibers
condense into visible
chromosomes.
2. Each replicated chromosome
appears as two identical sister
chromatids with their
centromeres connected.
3. The mitotic spindle begins to
develop. The centrosomes begin
to migrate to opposite cellular
poles, propelled by the elongating
microtubules between them.

Question 7

Nuclear envelope dissolves
Chromosomes completely condensed
Microtubules bind to the kinetochore of
the chromosomes

Answer 7

PROMETAPHASE

Question 8

M stands for Middle
Chromosomes align in the middle of the
cell
Centrosomes move to the opposite poles

Answer 8

METAPHASE

Question 9

process of anaphase

Answer 9

1. The pair of sister chromatids are separated,

2. and move toward the opposite poles of the cell.

Question 10

process of telophase

Answer 10

Formation of two daughter nuclei at either
end
Reappearance of nucleoli
Reformation of nuclear membranes
Chromosomes return to loosely packed
chromatin
Breaking down of mitotic spindle

Question 11

It is responsible for the final separation into two cells by
splitting the cytoplasm, which completes after the PMAT
mitosis stages.
- The single cell then pinches in the middle to form two
separate daughter cells each containing a full set of
chromosomes within a nucleus

Answer 11

CYTOKINESIS

Question 12

Produces identical copies of cells to repair and replace worn
out and damaged tissues.

Answer 12

CELL REPLACEMENT

Question 13

Plays a significant role in the growth of a living organism by
increasing the number of cells .

Answer 13

GROWTH

Question 14

Single-celled organisms and certain multicellular organisms
use it to reproduce, especially by fragmentation, budding,
etc.

Answer 14

ASEXUAL

REPRODUCTION

Question 15

It ensures that each daughter cell contains identical copy of
each chromosome.

Answer 15

MAINTENANCE OF

CHROMOSOME NUMBER

Question 16

Preserving the ideal ratio of nuclear to cytoplasmic material
in the cell

Answer 16

MAINTENANCE OF

DNA & RNA BALANCE
