1/5 Questions

What is the first phase of mitosis?
- Prophase
- Metaphase
- Anaphase
- Telophase

About This Quiz

After watching the Youtube video about mitosis, please take this quiz to review the steps of mitosis.

2.

What happens to the chromosomes during metaphase?
- They duplicate.
- They divide.
- They line up in the middle of the cell.
- Nothing.
Correct Answer

A. They line up in the middle of the cell.

Explanation

During metaphase, the chromosomes align themselves along the equatorial plane or the middle of the cell. This alignment is crucial for the subsequent separation of chromosomes during anaphase. The proper alignment ensures that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes during cell division.

3.

Spindle Fibers attach at the centromere.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Spindle fibers are responsible for separating chromosomes during cell division. They attach to the centromeres, which are specialized regions on the chromosomes where the sister chromatids are joined. This attachment is crucial for the proper alignment and separation of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. Therefore, the statement that spindle fibers attach at the centromere is true.

4.

How many identical cells are created from mitosis?
- 2
- 3
- 4
Correct Answer

A. 2

Explanation

During mitosis, a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This process ensures that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the genetic material present in the parent cell. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.

5.

When do the two new cells begin to cleave?
- Interphase
- Prophase
- Telophase
- A Phase
Correct Answer

A. Telophase

Explanation

During telophase, the final stage of cell division, the two new cells begin to cleave. This is the stage where the nuclear envelope reforms around the separated chromosomes, and the cytoplasm begins to divide, leading to the formation of two distinct daughter cells. Telophase marks the end of mitosis and the beginning of cytokinesis, the process of dividing the cytoplasm.
