Flashcards

Mitosis

The process of cell division where one parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells.

Cytokinesis

The division of the cytoplasm in a dividing cell, forming two separate daughter cells.

Prophase

The first stage of mitosis where chromosomes condense and become visible, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers form.

Metaphase

The stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up at the center of the cell, attached to spindle fibers.

Study Notes

Mitosis

Mitosis is the process where a cell divides its nucleus and cytoplasm to create two genetically identical daughter cells.
Mitosis is followed by cytokinesis, a process where the cytoplasm divides.
Mitosis is divided into four stages:
- Prophase
- Metaphase
- Anaphase
- Telophase
