Q

Describe prophase

A
  • duplicated chronometer shorten, thicken and become visible as two sister chormatids held together at the middle area call the centromere
  • the 2 kineotchores are found at the centromere
  • centrioles move to the opposite poles of the cell and from spindle and asters
  • the microtubules attach the kinetochore to the spindle
17
Q

Describe metaphase

A
  • sister chromatids align themselves at the equator

- the centromeres divide

18
Q

Describe Anaphase

A
  • each divided centromere pulls a sister chormatid to an opposite pole.
  • cytokinesis begins
19
Q

Describe telophase

A

The chromosomes begin to uncoil and decondense

  • spindle apparatus breaks down
  • a new nuclear membrane forms round the cluster of hormones at each pole
  • cytokinesis is nearly complete.
20
Q

What phase to cancer cells not go into?

A

Interphase- the cell never rests it just continually divided
