Questions and Answers

What happens during mitosis?

A eukaryotic cell undergoes a carefully coordinated nuclear division that results in the formation of two genetically identical daughter cells.

What are the 4 stages of mitosis?

Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

What is prophase?

The first stage of cell division during which the chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids and the nuclear envelope disappears.

What is metaphase?

The second stage of cell division, between prophase and anaphase, during which the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers. Signup and view all the answers

What is anaphase?

The third stage of meiotic or mitotic cell division in which the chromosomes move away from one another to opposite poles of the spindle. Signup and view all the answers

What is telophase?

The final phase of cell division, between anaphase and interphase, in which the chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed. Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Overview of Mitosis

Mitosis is a eukaryotic cellular process resulting in two genetically identical daughter cells.
It involves the coordinated division of the nucleus.

Stages of Mitosis

Mitosis consists of four main stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Prophase

First stage of mitosis where chromatin condenses into visible paired chromatids.
The nuclear envelope disintegrates, allowing the mitotic spindle to form.

Metaphase

Second stage where chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.
Chromosomes attach to spindle fibers which are crucial for their movement.

Anaphase

Third stage marked by the separation of chromatids as they are pulled toward opposite spindle poles.
Ensures that each daughter cell will receive an identical set of chromosomes.

Telophase

Final stage where chromatids reach the opposite poles of the cell.
Two distinct nuclei form, signaling the end of nuclear division and the preparation for cell division completion.
