Question

The statements below are not all correct. Place a check mark beside the statements which correctly describe mitosis. For the statements that are not correct, rewrite them correctly in the space beneath them.

Mitosis True/False
___ Only diploid cells will reproduce by mitosis.

___ Mitosis occurs only in animals.

___ During interphase the cell rests and is relatively inactive.

___ After mitosis, the number of chromosomes in the final cell is the same as the original cell.

___ Cytokinesis is the last stage of mitosis.

Answer 1

Cytokinesis is part of m-phase, but not part of mitosis. m-phase consists of nuclear division (mitosis) and cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis). And yes, telophase is part of mitosis, so it's in m-phase too.
