What to Focus On

  • Cell cycle means the time from one cell division to the next cell division.
  • Interphase is the growth phase between two divisions.
  • G1, S and G2 are the three stages of interphase.
  • Amitosis is a type of karyokinesis.
  • Spindle fibres are not formed in amitosis.
  • Nuclear membrane does not dissolve in amitosis.
  • Mitosis is equational division.
  • It happens in somatic cells.
  • It produces two identical daughter cells.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mitosis and meiosis are the same because both are cell divisions.

Crossing over happens in mitosis because chromosomes are visible there.

The centromere divides in metaphase because chromosomes are most clearly seen then.
