animal mitosis Flashcards
slide 1- zygote
how many masses of chromatin can be seen?
2
slide 1- zygote
where did the masses come from?
the nucleus of the egg; the sperm that fertilized the egg
slide 2- prometaphase
how many chromosomes can be seen?
2
slide 4- polar view
how does this image differ from slide 3?
we are now looking at the cell from one pole, through the equatorial plate, to the other pole
slide 4- polar view
in this slide, the chromosomes lie flat on the ________________
equatorial plate
slide 5- early anaphase
how many chromosomes can be seen?
8
slide 5- early anaphase
the number of chromosomes in this slide contain enough hereditary material for ___ cells
2
slide 6- anaphase
the chromosomes in this slide have separated to form __ groups; each group contains __ chromosomes
2 / 4
slide 7- telophase
are the two chromosome groups separated or apart?
completely separated
slide 7- telophase
what is happening to the cell membrane?
the cell membrane pinches inward, dividing the cytoplasm into two masses
slide 8- late telophase
how many cells can be seen?
2
slide 8- late telophase
how do the cells compare with the cell in slide 1?
the original zygote has divided to form two daughter cells
slide 8- late telophase
how many chromosomes are involved in human mitosis?
46
