Q

interphase

A
  • cell carries out normal metabolic activities
  • not part of mitosis
  • DNA is in form of chromatin
  • nuclear envelope in tact and visible
  • 3 phases

16
Q

sister chromatids held together by

A

centromere

17
Q

centrosomes are focal point of

A

mitotic spindle

18
Q

metaphase

A

centrosomes at opposite poles of cell

- chromosomes line up in middle, metaphase plate

19
Q

anaphase

A

chromosomes now V shaped

start to pull to opposite sides of the cell

20
Q

telophase

A

chromosomes uncoil into chromatin

nuclear envelope forms

21
Q

cytokinesis

A

begins in late anaphase

ring of actin forms cleavage furrow pinching cell apart
