Cell Biology Flashcards
1
Q
What is prophase (mitosis) ?
A
Chromosomal material condenses to form a compact mitotis chromosone.
Spindle formation
Nuclear membrane starts to break down.
2
Q
What is metaphase?
A
Chromosomes and their copies line up in the middle of the cell
3
Q
What is interphase?
A
The DNA in chromosones copies itself ready for mitosis
4
Q
What is anaphase?
A
Chromosones are pulled to different ends of the cell
5
Q
What is telophase?
A
New membarnes form around the chromosomes at each end of the cell
6
Q
What is cytokinesis?
A
The cell membrane forms that makes 2 daughter cells
7
Q
What are the stages of mitosis?
A
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase
8
Q
What is prometaphase?
A
The nuclear membrane breaks down allowing the microtubules to attach to the chromosomes
