What stage of Mitosis do the centrosomes pull the chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell?

A

Anaphase

18
Q

What stage of Mitosis shows that the cell is on the verge of splitting into two?

A

Telophase

19
Q

What is the purpose of centrosomes in cellular division?

A

To pull chromosomes to opposite poles during Anaphase

What does DNA stand for?

A

Deoxyribonucleic acid

Q

What is the difference between hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic

A

Hypertonic: shrivel, puts out more than it can take in
Hypotonic: explode, takes in more than it can put out
Isotonic: equillibrium
