Questions and Answers
What happens during the prophase of mitosis?
What happens during the prophase of mitosis?
- Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, nuclear membrane disintegrates, and spindle fibers begin to form (correct)
- Chromosomes attach to spindle fibers and align in the middle of the cell
- Each chromosome separates into two sister chromatids and move towards opposite ends of the cell
- Nuclear membranes reform around each set of chromatids, creating two new nuclei
During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes separate into two sister chromatids and move towards opposite ends of the cell?
During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes separate into two sister chromatids and move towards opposite ends of the cell?
- Anaphase (correct)
- Pre-phase (Prophase)
- Meta-phase
- Telephase (Telophase)
What is the outcome of mitosis in a cell mother?
What is the outcome of mitosis in a cell mother?
- Producing two daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes
- Producing one daughter cell with a different number of chromosomes than the cell mother
- Producing four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes
- Producing two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes and identical genetic information (correct)

Study Notes
- Mitosis is a form of cellular reproduction in a cell mother, producing two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes and identical genetic information.
- Pre-phase (Prophase): Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, nuclear membrane disintegrates, and spindle fibers begin to form.
- Meta-phase: Chromosomes attach to spindle fibers and align themselves in the middle of the cell.
- Anaphase: Each chromosome separates into two sister chromatids and move towards opposite ends of the cell.
- Telephase (Telophase): Nuclear membranes reform around each set of chromatids, creating two new nuclei, and the cytoplasm divides to form two separate cells.
