Q

during interphase, the genetic material of a typical eukaryotic cell is

A

dispersed in the nucleus as long strands of chromatin.

the chromosomes cannot be distinguised individually because they are still in the form of loosely packed chromatin fibers.

Q

what are the 4 phases of mitosis (in order)

A

prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase/cytokinesis

17
Q

what occurs during prophase (mitosis)

A

chromatin fibers tightly coiled, chromosomes visible, nuclear envelope fragments, spindle fibers assemble

18
Q

what occurs during metaphase

A

chromosomes convene on metaphase plate, longest phase

19
Q

what occurs during telophase/cytokinesis

A

2 daughter nuclei begin to form
