Questions and Answers

What is the primary goal of mitosis?

  • To reduce the number of chromosomes
  • To produce genetically identical daughter cells (correct)
  • To produce haploid cells
  • To create genetic diversity
  • Which phase of the cell cycle does mitosis occur in?

  • G2 phase
  • S phase
  • M phase (correct)
  • G1 phase
  • What is the role of the spindle fibers in mitosis?

  • To help move the chromatids to opposite ends of the cell (correct)
  • To regulate the formation of the nuclear envelope
  • To produce energy for the cell division process
  • To anchor the centrioles in place
  • Study Notes

    Mitosis Overview

    • The primary goal of mitosis is to equally divide the replicated DNA among two daughter cells.

    Cell Cycle Phases

    • Mitosis occurs in the M phase (mitotic phase) of the cell cycle.

    Spindle Fibers Role

    • The spindle fibers play a crucial role in mitosis by separating the duplicated chromosomes and aligning them at the center of the cell.
    • They then pull the sister chromatids apart, ensuring each new daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.
