9. Mitosis and Meiosis

Mitosis

Multiple Choice
Which of the following is the correct order of mitosis steps?
Multiple Choice
In which step do the chromosomes begin to separate into daughter cells?
Multiple Choice
In which step does the cleavage furrow form
Multiple Choice
In which step is the DNA replicated?
Multiple Choice
In which step does the chromatin begin to condense
Multiple Choice
Which checkpoint is responsible for ensuring the DNA was replicated properly?
Open Question
In this chapter, we focused on how chromosomes are distributed during cell division, both in dividing somatic cells (mitosis) and in gamete- and spore-forming cells (meiosis). We found many opportunities to consider the methods and reasoning by which much of this information was acquired. From the explanations given in the chapter, answer the following questions.How do we know that mitotic chromosomes are derived from chromatin?
