9
Q
  • The fourth and final phase of mitosis.
  • Chromosomes gather at opposite ends of
    the cell and lose their distinct shape
  • A new nuclear envelope forms around
    each cluster of chromosomes
A

telophase

9
Q

why does interphase happens?

A

Cell must grow in order for
extra organelles and DNA
have room in cell

9
Q
  • The second phase of mitosis
  • The chromosomes line up across the center of the cell.
  • Microtubules connect the centromere of each chromosome to the poles of the spindle
A

metaphase

9
Q
  • Homologous chromosomes will
    align at the middle of the cell.
  • Spindle fiber from centrioles will
    attach to these chromosomes
A

metaphase 1

10
Q
  • It is the first phase of mitosis.
  • The centrioles separate and take
    up positions on opposite sides of
    the nucleus.
  • The centrioles lie in a region called the
    centrosome.
  • The centrosome helps to organize the
    spindle, a fanlike microtubule structure that
    helps separate the chromosomes.
A

prophase

11
Q
  • During ____, the cytoplasm
    pinches in half.
  • Each daughter cell has an identical set
    of duplicate chromosomes
A

cytokinesis

11
Q
  • Shortest Phase
  • Chromosomes attach to spindle
    fibers in center of the cell
A

summary of metaphase

11
Q
  • Chromosomes reach opposite
    poles of cell
  • Chromatids unwind back into
    chromatin
  • Nuclear envelope and nucleolus
    reappear reforming the nucleus
  • Spindle fibers disappear
  • New double membrane
  • Animal cell – cleavage
A

summary of telophase

11
Q
  • The third phase of mitosis.
  • The sister chromatids separate into individual
    chromosomes.
  • The chromosomes continue to move until they have separated into two groups.
A

anaphase

11
Q
  • It is a specialized form of cell division that
    occurs in organisms that
    reproduce sexually.
  • It produces reproductive cells, such as
    sperm cells, egg cells, (gametes) and
    spores in plants and fungi.
  • One parent cell under ____ can
    produce 4 daughter cells
  • reduction division
  • theses produces haploid cells. (with 23 chromosomes)
  • it has 2 divisions of PMAT
A

meiosis

12
Q
  • Chromosomes will condense and
    thicken.
  • Spindle fibers will attach at the
    chromosomes.
  • No more crossing over in this
    part
A

prophase 2

12
Q
  • Chromosomes condense and
    thicken
  • Line up homologous pairs
  • Crossing over
  • Recombinant chromosomes
A

prophase 1

12
Q

Homologous chromosomes will be pulled away on both sides of the cell

A

anaphase 1

13
Q
  • Two newly formed nuclei with
    nuclear envelope.
  • End the first part of meiosis
  • This followed by the splitting of
    cytoplasm known as cytokinesis
A

telophase 1

14
Q
  • The chromosomes will line up in
    the middle.
  • Chromosomes will not be in
    pairs.
A

metaphase 2

14
Q
  • Nuclei will be enclosed with
    nuclear envelope.
  • Cytokinesis will follow to
    completely separate the
    cells
A

telophase 2

14
Q
  • Sister chromatids will be pulled away from each other
A

anaphase 2
