Q

In metaphase of mitosis
At this stage, the cell will check that all the chromosomes are aligned along the metaphase plate, with their kinetochores correctly attached.
T/F

A

At this stage, the cell will check that all the chromosomes are aligned along the metaphase plate, with their kinetochores correctly attached.

  • This helps to ensure sister chromatids are split evenly between the two daughter cells.
  • An error in chromosomal alignment or spindle attachment will result in the cell halting further progress until the problem is fixed.

Anaphase

  • During this stage, sister chromatids are pulled to opposite ends of the cell.
  • The spindle fibres contract, breaking the chromatids at the centromere and moving them to opposite poles of the cell.
  • Spindle fibres not attached to chromatids will elongate the cell to prepare it for division.

Telophase

  • In this phase the cell has elongated and is nearly finished dividing.
  • Cell-like features begin to reappear such as reformation of two nuclei (one for each cell).
  • The chromosomes decondense and the mitotic spindles fibres are broken down

Cytokinesis

  • is the division of the cytoplasm to form two new cells.
  • This stage actually begins between anaphase and telophase, however doesn’t finish until after telophase.
  • To separate the two cells, a ring of protein (actin ring) pinches the cytoplasm along a crease known as a cleavage furrow.
  • This splits the cytoplasm equally between the two cells.
