Mitosis

Question 1

Cell division for body cells or somatic cells

Division of the nucleus also called karyokinesis

Answer 1

Mitosis

Question 2

results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other and to the parental cell from which they came.

Answer 2

Mitosis

Question 3

Chromatin in nucleus condenses to form visible chromosomes

Spindle fibers forms from the centrioles

Nucleolus and nuclear membrane will disappear.

Answer 3

Prophase

Question 4

Chromosomes, attached to the spindle fibers, move to the center of the cell

Chromosomes are now lined up at the
equator

Answer 4

Metaphase

Question 5

Sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell by spindle fibers

Answer 5

Anaphase

Question 6

Two daughter cell form

Chromosomes reappear as chromatin

Nucleolus and nuclear membrane reappears

Answer 6

Telophase

Question 7

Division of cytoplasm

To form two new cell

Answer 7

Cytokinesis

Question 8

The number of cells increases by mitosis enabling organisms to grow from a single cell to a complex multicellular organism.

Answer 8

Development and growth

Question 9

Cells are constantly lost and replaced by new ones in the body.

Answer 9

Cell replacement

Question 10

Some organisms use mitosis to replace body parts

Answer 10

Replacement of damaged plant or animal tissue (regeneration)

Question 11

Some organisms such as the hydra use mitosis to produce genetically identical offspring. The process is known as budding

Answer 11

Asexual reproduction

Question 12

4 stages of mitosis

Answer 12

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase

Question 13

Division of the nucleus also called

Answer 13

Karyokinesis
