The correct characteristic of mitosis is:

Results in two identical daughter cells.

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells, maintaining the same chromosome number as the original cell.

What is the correct order of the stages in mitosis?(1 point)
Responses

Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Telophase
Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Telophase

Metaphase → Prophase → Anaphase → Telophase
Metaphase → Prophase → Anaphase → Telophase

Anaphase → Prophase → Metaphase → Telophase
Anaphase → Prophase → Metaphase → Telophase

Telophase → Metaphase → Prophase → Anaphase

The correct order of the stages in mitosis is:

Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Telophase.

This sequence describes the progression of the cell through each stage of mitosis.

During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes align along the cell's equator?(1 point)
Responses

Anaphase
Anaphase

Prophase
Prophase

Metaphase
Metaphase

Telophase

The correct answer is:

Metaphase.

During metaphase, the chromosomes align along the cell's equator, also known as the metaphase plate.

Which of the following processes is NOT a part of interphase?(1 point)
Responses

S phase
S phase

Mitosis
Mitosis

G1 phase
G1 phase

G2 phase

The process that is NOT a part of interphase is:

Mitosis.

Interphase includes the G1 phase, S phase, and G2 phase, but mitosis is a separate phase that follows interphase.

Cell differentiation is the process by which:(1 point)
Responses

cells become specialized in structure and function
cells become specialized in structure and function

cells replicate their DNA
cells replicate their DNA

cells divide to produce two daughter cells
cells divide to produce two daughter cells

cells grow and prepare for cell division

The correct answer is:

cells become specialized in structure and function.

Cell differentiation is the process by which unspecialized cells develop into specialized cells with distinct structures and functions.

Which of the following is a characteristic of stem cells?(1 point)
Responses

They have limited ability to differentiate
They have limited ability to differentiate

They are fully differentiated cells
They are fully differentiated cells

They cannot undergo mitosis
They cannot undergo mitosis

They can divide and renew themselves

The correct answer is:

They can divide and renew themselves.

Stem cells have the ability to undergo mitosis and can differentiate into various specialized cell types, making them unique in their capacity for self-renewal and differentiation.
