Q

What are the 4 functions Interphase

A
  • Longest Stage
  • Cell carries out all life activities
    + Growth
    + Cellular Respiration
    + Protein Production M
  • More Organelles are formed
    • Genetic material (DNA) are visible called chromatin

Q

What are the 5 functions of Prophase

A
  • Chromatin condenses and can only be seen has chromosomes
  • Chromosomes are 2 identical sister chromatids held by a centromere
  • Nuclear membrane breaks down
  • Nucleolus disappears
  • Spindle fiber form from the centromere

Q

What are the 2 functions of Metaphase

A
  • Chromosomes line up in the center of the cell (the meta plate)
  • Spindle fibers are connected to the centromere of each chromosome
    Remember “ Metaphase = Middle”

Q

What are the 3 functions of Anaphase

A
  • Spindle fibers pull chromosomes apart by splitting the centromere
  • each chromatid is called a daughter chromosome
  • daughter chromosomes move to opposite sides of the cell

Q

What are the 4 functions of telophase

A
  • Final step of mitosis
  • Nuclear membrane reforms around each group of daughter chromosomes
  • Chromosomes stretch out and become thinner until no longer visible
  • Nucleolus reappears

Q

What are the 3 functions of Cytokinesis

A
  • Splits the cell into two daughter cells
  • Each cell as its own nucleus
  • 46ss in each identical daughter cell

Q

How many strands are in each one

A
Interphase= 46ss doubles into 92ss
Prophase= 46ds (double strands)
Metaphase= 46s 
Anaphase= 46 in each groups
Cytoknesis= 46ss in each identical daughter cell
