Mitosis

Question 1

Mitosis

Answer 1

-A type of cell division that occurs in the body
-During this process, a cell duplicates itself - forming 2 identical daughter cells
-Important for growth and repair

Question 2

Interphase

Answer 2

-To prepare for cell division, The cell must first replicate its DNA.
-Chromosomes replicate to have 2 chromatids

Question 3

What is the order of Mitosis

Answer 3

IPMATC
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, cytokinesis

Question 4

Prophase

Answer 4

-Chromosomes condense and nuclear membrane disappear

Question 5

Metaphase

Answer 5

The 46 chromosomes line up in a single file. Spindle fibers attach to centromeres.

Question 6

Anaphase

Answer 6

The sister Chromatids seperate

Question 7

Telophase

Answer 7

Nuclear membrane reforms. Each new cell is Diploid (has 46 chromosomes)

Question 8

Cytokinesis

Answer 8

Cell membranes form, making 2 daughter cells, each with a nucleus.

Question 9

Chromosomes and Diploids

Answer 9

Body cells have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). This is known as a diploid number
