Q
  1. Why are the chromosomes decondensed during Interphase?
A
  • they are loose forms of chromatins
  • this helps with reduction and transcription

Q
  1. What happens during Mitotic Spindle Formation?
A
  • the mitotic spindle begins to form by the
    Polymerisation of Microtubules
  • microtubule Polymerisation starts from the
    Centrosomes

Q
  1. What are 3 types of Mitotic Spindle
    Microtubules?
A
  1. Astral Microtubules
  2. Kinetochore (Chromosomal) Microtubules
  3. Polar Microtubules
17
Q
  1. What are Astral Microtubules?
A
  • they are radial microtubules
  • they are star-shaped
  • they are structured around the centrosome
18
Q
  1. What is the function of the Astral Microtubules?
A
  • they position the spindle of the cell
19
Q
  1. What are Kinetochore (Chromosomal) Microtubules?
A
  • they join the centrosome with the Kinetochores
    of the chromosomes
20
Q
  1. What is the function of the Kinetochore (Chromosomal) Microtubules?
A
  • chromosomal movement
21
Q
  1. What are Polar Microtubules?
A
  • they start from the centrosome
  • they do not attach to the chromosomes
  • they interact with other polar microtubules
  • these polar microtubules project from the other pole
22
Q
  1. What is the function of the Polar Microtubules?
A
  • they maintain the integrity of the spindle
23
Q
  1. What is the Mitotic Spindle?
A
  • it is an apparatus of the microtubules
  • it controls the chromosome movement during Mitosis
  • the microtubule arises from the centrosomes
  • it can also arise from the Micro Tubule Organising
    Centres
24
Q
  1. What does the Mitotic Spindle consist of?
A
  1. Spindle Microtubules
    (Kinetochore)
    (Polar Microtubules)
  2. Astral Microtubules
25
Q
  1. What does the Micro Tubule Organising Centre
    consist of in Animal Cells?
A
  • two centrioles
26
Q
  1. What kind of Micro Tubule Organising Centre do Plant Cells have?
A
  • they have a different type of Micro Tubule Organising
    Centre (MTOC)
  • they lack centrioles
27
Q
  1. What happens during Nuclear Envelope and Organelle Degradation?
A
  • the Nuclear Lamin undergoes Phosphorylation
  • the nuclear envelop is degraded
  • it is packed into vesicles
28
Q
  1. What are Lamins?
A
  • they are intermediate filaments
  • they are present in the nuclear lamina
29
Q
  1. Which organelles are degraded during Prophase?
A
  • Endoplasmic Reticulum
  • Golgi Apparatus
  • these are degraded
  • they are the packed into vesicles
  • these will later be separated into daughter cells
