Cell Division Quiz

Cell division is the formation of two daughter cells from a single parent cell.

Mitosis is necessary for the formation of new cells required for growth and tissue repair.

Mitosis is the division of body cells except those that give rise to sex cells, while meiosis is the division of sex cells for reproduction.

<p>Interphase is the time between cell divisions. DNA is found as thin threads of chromatin in the nucleus, and DNA replication occurs during interphase.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>In prophase, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, each consisting of two chromatids joined at the centromere. The centrioles move to the opposite ends of the cell, and the nucleolus and nuclear envelope disappear.</p> Signup and view all the answers
