Q

What does each chromosome appear as?

A

two identical sister chromatids

17
Q

Where are the sister chromatids joined?

A

the centromere

18
Q

What is mitosis and when does it take place

A

nuclear division that takes place during the duplication of chromosomes that is joined into sister chromatids. Later it is split and chromosomes are distributed into daughter cells.

19
Q

interphase

A

division of the nucleus

20
Q

prophase

A

chromosome condenses and becomes visible; nucleus disappears

21
Q

prometaphase

A

chromosomes continue to condense

22
Q

metaphase

A

meet at metaphase plate in the middle, sister chromatids attached to spindle fibers

23
Q

anaphase

A

sister chromatid (now chromosomes) breaks down and is pulled towards opposite ends

24
Q

telophase

A

chromosomes arrive at opposite ends and starts to decondenses, nuclear envelope surrounds each set of chromosome

25
Q

cytokinesis (animal cell and plant cell)

A

animal cell: cleavage furrow separates the daughter cell

plant cell: cell plate separates the daughter cells

26
Q

cells that are not preparing to divide are called…

A

G0

27
Q

What happens if G0 doesn’t go into G1

A

it remains there forever; not dead but not dividing

28
Q

G1 checkpoint-

A

allows to enter to S phase or go into G0

29
Q

G2 checkpoint-

A

proper chromosome duplication is assessed

30
Q

M checkpoint-

A

attachment of each kinetochore to a spindle fiber
