A
DNA replication
3
Q
prophase
A
DNA condenses into chromosomes, nuclear membrane dissolves
4
Q
metaphase
A
sister chromatids line up along the middle
5
Q
anaphase
A
spindle fibres pull daughter chromosomes to opposite ends of the cell
6
Q
telophase
A
cytokinesis: daughter cells, nuclear membrane reforms
7
Q
what is cytokinesis
A
cytoplasm divides
8
Q
how is cytokinesis different in plant and animal cells
A
plant cell: cell plate forms between the 2 cells
animal cell: cell pinches (cleavage furrow)
