Q

*what phase of mitosis

the chromosomes coil, contract, condense and thicken.

The centrioles present in the cell duplicates in the cytoplasm, the resultant two pairs become arranged at opposite poles of the nucleus.

The microtubules starts to form from the two pairs of centrioles and the nuclear envelope begins to dismantle.

Some microtubules will then attach to the kinetochores of the chromatids which will create the mitotic spindle.
This part is often called the prometaphase.

Q

*what phase of mitosis

Here, each group of chromatids has reached one of the poles.

They will eventually form the chromosomes.

The chromosomes will then uncoil and lengthen, and a nuclear envelope re-forms in each of the daughter cells.

A

Telophase

21
Q

-This process is where the daughter cells become haploid

-allow for genetic recombination (unique combination of parental genomes.)

-In females, it starts at the fetal stage, which then pauses and starts again during puberty, before ovulation.

-In males, it is not initiated until after puberty but it then becomes a continuous process.

A

meiosis

22
Q

In ____, chromosomes separate to produce diploid daughter cells.

In ____, the sister chromatids results to haploid daughter cells.

In males, at the end of telophase of meiosis I, the primary spermatocyte divides into two ____ by cytokinesis.

Q

*Meiosis

In females, telophase is associated with a very uneven cytokinesis resulting in one of the two daughter cells being much larger than the other.
