Question 1

Question 6

What are the stages of mitosis ? Explain each one of them

Answer 6

1)Prophase : In this stage, the nucleus breaks down, the chromosome get condensed (Fatter and shorter) so that they can move around. A series of protein fibers(Spindle) form and get attached to the centromere of each chromosome.
2)Metaphase : The chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
3)Anaphase : The spindle fibers move to the opposite sides of the cell and pull the chromosome
4)Telophase : Nucleases start to form ,the cytoplasm divides into two cytokinesis and two identically and genetically related cells will be produced
