Yes. During mitosis, interphase takes place with a single-cell, then follows up with prophase, then metaphase where the chromosomes line up within the center of the cell. Next, follows anaphase- which is when the chromosomes are pulled in opposite directions toward the pulls with aid of the spindle fibers. Then comes telophase where the cell begins to get ready for the 'split' which is when the 'pinch' starts to form. During the end of telophase and completion of cytokinesis, the cell fully breaks apart, forming two identical daughter cells from the one parent cell it started out with.

Which statement correctly describes a single-celled organism?

The statement which best compares a multicellular organism to a single-celled organism is their functions. While multicellular organisms use organ systems to perform life functions, single-celled organisms do not use organs for the life functions.


What is the single-celled organism that makes enzymes for bread making?

Most breads use commercially cultured yeast (a unicellular fungus) to make the bread rise.However sourdough bread uses a mixture of wild bacteria and wild yeasts to make the bread rise. The bacteria produce acids (e.g. lactic acid, acetic acid) producing the sour taste of this bread. The exact mixture of different species of microorganisms growing in the "starter" is unknown and varies widely from one location to another and even one bakery to another.


Is an onion cell from an autotrophic or heterotrophic organism?

no because since they grow in the ground, they don't need to use the sun to make food for us.


What organisms use mitosis?

Quite contrary from the previous answer which was 'I do not know that all organisms go through mitosis. I would imagine most do, it is the means by which development occurs, and multicellular organisms are created through this process, perhaps single celled organisms do not go through this process as they are complete as single cell entities. Perhaps we have a biologist out there whom could give us more detail or inform us of exceptions to the rule. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitosis Mitosis--Cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes' the organisms cells inside of him/her may go through mitosis, but most organisms in order to reproduce actually go through meiosis, the opposite of mitosis when mitosis is asexual (one parent) and meiosis is sexual(2 parents.) most things that go through mitosis would be bacteria. multicellular organisms and unicellular organisms aren't necessarily in either category.


Why do biologists use dividing cells to determine the number of chromosomes in an organism?

Biologists use dividing cells to determine the number of chromosomes in an organism because when cells go through mitosis (the process of dividing) the chromosomes become much more visible.

What is the difference between multicellular organism and a single celled organism?

Single means 1... multi means more.... lets see if we use common sense a single cell organism has one cell and a multicellular organism has more than one cell.

How can we use sexual and asexual in growing plants?

we can use sexual and asexual in growing plants because sexual helps to reproduce plants and asexual helps to grow plants with only a single-celled organism

Where does an organism store energy?

A small amount of energy is stored in the cells. For animals the major energy store are the fat reserves and for plants the major energy stores is starch. Single celled creatures use glucose.


What process do single-celled organisms use to reproduce?

Single-celled organisms reproduce through a process called binary fission, where the cell divides into two identical daughter cells. In this process, the genetic material is replicated, and the cell divides into two new cells with the same genetic information.
