2.3 Anaphase Flashcards
Topic - Anaphase
I. Arrangement at metaphase plate
II. Centromere divided longitudinally
III. __ contract
IV. towards/away pole
V. Key features
______ phase is the shortest in mitosis.
Anaphase
At the onset of anaphase, each chromosome arranged at the metaphase plate is split simultaneously.
T/F
True
In Anaphase, centromere of each chromosome divided longitudinally resulting in the formation of ______.
two daughter chromatids (chromosomes of future daughter nuclei)
In anaphase, ______ contract and ______ migrates towards two opposite poles from equatorial plate.
Spindle fibres; Daughter chromatids
In anaphase, the centromere of each chromosome remains directed towards the pole and hence at the leading edge, with the arms of the chromosome trailing behind
T/F
True
The key features of Anaphase is:
l. Centromeres split and chromatids separate.
lI. Chromatids move to opposite poles.
