A

METAPHASE

21
Q

STAGES OF MITOSIS

THE MAIN FEATURE OF THIS STAGE
- Equator an invisible circular plate (similar to earths equator)

A

METAPHASE

22
Q

STAGES OF MITOSIS
- Chromosomes condense and become visible
- Spindle fibers emerge from the chromosomes
- Nuclear envelope breaks down
- Centrosomes move toward opposite poles

A

PROPHASE

23
Q

STAGES OF MITOSIS
- Chromosomes continue to condense
- Kinetochores appear at the centromeres
- Mitotic spindle microtubules attach to kinetochores

A

PROMETAPHASE

24
Q

STAGES OF MITOSIS
- Chromosomes are lined up at the met a phase plate
- Each sister chromatic is attached to a spindle fiber originating from opposite poles

A

METAPHASE

25
Q

STAGES OF MITOSIS
- Centromere split in two
- Sister chromatids (now called chromosomes are pulled toward opposite poles)
- Certain spindle fibers begin to elongate the cell

A

ANAPHASE

26
Q

STAGES OF MITOSIS
- Chromosomes arrive at opposite poles and begin to decondense
- Nuclear envelope material surrounds each set of chromosomes
- The mitotic spindle breaks down
- Spindle fibers continue to push poles apart

A

TELOPHASE

27
Q

STAGES OF MITOSIS
- The shortest phase

A

ANAPHASE

28
Q

STAGES OF MITOSIS
- Sister chromatids of each chromosome separate and move to opposite poles which are now the daughter chromosomes
- Movement may be due to shortening of spindle fibers

A

ANAPHASE

29
Q

STAGES OF MITOSIS

THE MAIN FEATURE OF THIS STAGE
- Each group of daughter chromosomes are surrounded by a reformed nuclear envelop
- Daughter chromosomes become longer and thinner
- Nucleoli reappear
- Spindle 2 fibers disintegrate
- Cell plates are formed

A

TELOPHASE

30
Q

CYTOKINESIS

36

The form of cell division in which a cell divides into four daughter cells each of which has half of the number of chromosomes of the original cells

A

MEIOSIS
