Mitosis Flashcards
What are the stages in Mitosis?
Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis
What happens in the Interphase stage?
DNA copies itself
What happens in the Prophase stage?
Copied DNA become more visible
What happens in the Metaphase stage?
Copied DNA line up in the middle of the cell
What happens in the Anaphase stage?
Copied DNA pulled to different ends of cell
What happens in the Telophase stage?
New membranes form at each end of cell
What happens in the Cytokinesis stage?
Divides into 2 daughter cells
Is Mitosis diploid or haploid?
Diploid
What does it divide into?
2 identical diploid daughter cells
How many pairs of chromosomes are there in a diploid human body cell?
23
Why is growth, repair and asexual reproduction important in Mitosis?
Helps organisms grow in size
Repairs damaged tissues
Replaces worn-out cells
Is every base pair of DNA identical or unidentical in Mitosis?
Identical
What is the first stage of the Mitosis cell cycle?
Interphase
What is the last stage of the Mitosis cell cycle?
Cytokinesis
