Q

chromatin condenses intochromosomes. Each chromosome consists of twochromatids joined at the centromere. The centriolesmove to the opposite ends of the cell, and the nucleolusand the nuclear envelope disappear. Microtubules formnear the centrioles and project in all directions. Some ofthe microtubules end blindly and are called astral fibers.Others, known as spindle fibers, project toward aninvisible line called the equator and overlap with fibersfrom opposite centrioles.

Q

chromatids separate, and eachchromatid is then referred to as a chromosome. Thus,when the centromeres divide, the chromosome numberis double, and there are two identical sets ofchromosomes. The chromosomes, assisted by thespindle fibers, move toward the centrioles at each end ofthe cell.
