Cell Cycle Flashcards
1
Q
What happens during telophase?
A
Nucleolus reappears, nuclear envelope forms, chromosomes un-condense, and spindle fibers break down
2
Q
What happens during metaphase?
A
Chromosomes align along the middle of the cell
3
Q
What happens during anaphase?
A
Spindle fibers pull chromatids apart, and separate to opposite ends of cell
4
Q
What happens during prophase?
A
Chromatin condenses, centrioles migrate to opposite ends of cells, and the nuclear membrane disappears
5
Q
What are the are the 5 stages of mitosis?
A
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, and Cytokinesis
6
Q
What happens during interphase?
A
The cell grows and replicates DNA
7
Q
What happens during cytokinesis?
A
Cytoplasm divides, cleavage furrow cuts cell in half
