Mitosis

Question 0

Prophase

Answer 0

Chromosomes coil, nuclear membrane disintegrates, spindle apparatus forms

Question 1

Interphase

G1 and G2

Answer 1

Chromosomes are not visible because they are uncoiled

Question 2

Metaphase

Answer 2

The chromosomes become aligned at the equator of the cell

Question 3

Anaphase

Answer 3

The chromosomes separate to move to separate poles of the cell

Question 4

Telophase

Answer 4

The cell divides into, the nuclear membrane reappears, the chromosomes uncoil and the spindle apparatus breaks down.

Question 5

Cytokinesis/interphase

Answer 5

Division of cell organelles and cell parts, the cell returns to the growth phase. Two sister cells are produced, containing diploid number of chromosomes.

Question 6

Purpose of mitosis

Answer 6

Occurs in eukaryotes so that an organism can grow, repair and replace cells, and reproduce asexually.

Question 7

Differences between meiosis and mitosis

Answer 7

1. no crossing over in mitosis
2. chromosomes line up under each other in mitosis
3. chromosomes line up as homologous pairs in meiosis
4. crossing over occurs in meiosis
