To answer the Mitosis Quick Check questions, you need to have a basic understanding of the stages of mitosis. Mitosis is a process of cell division that results in the formation of two identical daughter cells. It consists of several phases, including prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
1. To determine the answer for question 1, you need to recall the characteristics of prophase. Prophase is the first stage of mitosis characterized by the condensation of chromosomes, the breakdown of the nuclear envelope, and the formation of spindle fibers. Look for the choice that describes these features. The correct answer is "Prophase."
2. For question 2, you should be familiar with the characteristics of metaphase. Metaphase is the stage of mitosis where condensed chromosomes align themselves along the equatorial plate (or metaphase plate) in the middle of the cell. Look for the choice that mentions this alignment. The correct answer is "Metaphase."
3. Question 3 asks for the name of the entire process of cell division. The answer is "Mitosis" itself. Choose that option.
4. Lastly, question 4 asks for a general outcome of mitosis. During mitosis, a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. These daughter cells can form a mass of cells over time. So, the correct answer is "A mass of cells."
Remember, it is essential to study the stages of mitosis and their characteristics to answer questions correctly.
