What are the functions of spindle fibers?
Replicate during interphase
Form a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell
In order for the cell to be capable of undergoing future divisions, DNA replication must take place
What is cytokinesis?
The division of the cytoplasm after mitosis
The stage where chromosomes moves away from another to opposite poles
Two nuclei form
Chromatin condenses into chromosomes
is the process of forming identical offspring from a single cell or tissue
Without cytokinesis, the result of mitosis would be 1 cell with 2 nuclei rather than separate cells
Do all cells divide at the same time?
Yes
No
When a cell has reached its maximum size, what two alternatives does it have?
Apoptosis or attach itself to new cells
Mitosis or function as a unicellular body
Initiate a cloning process or revive itself
