7.2 Mitosis Flashcards
The order of the stages of mitosis
After interphase, comes prophase, then metaphase, then anaphase, then telophase
How is DNA stored in the nucleus?
In the form of chromatin
What happens during prophase?
The nucleus is disappearing and the spindle fibers start to form.
What happens during metaphase?
The spindle fibers line up the homologous chromosomes in the middle of the cell.
What happens during anaphase?
Sister chromatids are separated.
What happens during telophase?
Cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
Where are the sister chromatids connected?
The centromere
When was a cell isolated if there are two copies of each chromosome?
after the s phase
When does the condensation f chromosomes happen in mitosis?
Early, so that the chromosomes are safer to move around
