Q

Mitosis what happens

A

Microtubule apparatus separates chromatids and forms two sets of nuclear data

Genetic material is sent to each daughter cell

Q

Prophase what happens

A

Chromosomes become visible, shorter, thicker, condensed

Chromosome ‘x’ structure forms through condensation process

Microtubules appear from centrosomes

Nucleolus disappears

Q

Telophase what happens

A

Nuclear membrane forms around the two clusters of chromosomes

Q

Cytokinesis what happens

A

Cytoplasm splits and organelles are put in the new cells

16
Q

Animal cytokinesis

A

A contracting ring of actin constricts the center of the cell and divides it into 2 cells

Cleavage furrow

17
Q

Plant cytokinesis

A

phragmoplast is arranged between the daughter nuclei.
Vesicles from the Golgi apparatus travels along the Microtubules and deliver their contents to form cell plates

Cell plate

18
Q

Checkpoints

A

Regulate the process

Let the next step happen or hold it back

19
Q

G1 checkpoint

A

Controls whether cell divides,Delays division,or enters resting stage

20
Q

G2 checkpoint

A

Success of DNA replication is assessed

21
Q

M checkpoint where

A

mitosis
