Q

What happens during MITOSIS

A

During mitosis, Chromosomes go through 5 phases

16
Q

What are the 5 phases of mitosis

A

Ph 1: PROPHASE; Ph 2: METAPHASE; Ph 3:ANAPHASE; Ph 4: TELOPHASE; Ph 5:Cytokinesis

17
Q

What happens during each phase

A

Phase 1: PROPHASE-chromosomes appear

18
Q

What happens during each phase

A

Phase 2: METAPHASE-chromosomes line up

19
Q

What happens during each phase

A

Phase 3: ANAPHASE-chromosomes seperate

20
Q

What happens during each phase

A

Phase 4: TELOPHASE-chromosomes pinch

21
Q

What happens during each phase

A

Phase 5: Cytokinesis- two new daughter cells form

22
Q
