What is the primary difference between prokaryote cell division and eukaryote cell division?
The process of cell division itself
What is the process of dividing the nucleus during cell division?
Mitosis
How many phases are there in the process of Mitosis?
Four
What is the name of the phase in Mitosis when the chromosomes line up at the center of the cell?
Metaphase
What is the name of the phase in Mitosis when the sister chromatids separate?
Anaphase
What is the final phase of Mitosis, where the nuclear envelope reforms?
Telophase
During anaphase, what happens to the sister chromatids?
They separate
What type of microtubules begin to shorten during anaphase?
Kinetochore microtubules
What occurs as a result of the shortening of kinetochore microtubules?
The chromosomes move towards the poles
What is the result of the separation of sister chromatids during anaphase?
Two new nuclei form
What occurs as the spindle poles move further apart?
The cell divides into two daughter cells
What event occurs as the centrosomes separate in the prophase of the cell cycle?
The formation of spindle fibers
What is the main function of the mitotic spindle in cell division?
To divide the chromatids into equal halves
What are the two types of fibers that make up the mitotic spindle?
Kinetochore and polar fibers
In which stage of the cell cycle does the formation of the mitotic spindle occur?
