Metaphase to anaphase, spindle-assembly checkpoint Flashcards
- Chromosome alignment on metaphase plate (congression) - Dissolution of sister chromatid cohesion (anaphase onset) - Progression of anaphase (anaphase A and B) - Roles and mechanisms of spindle-assembly checkpoint

Q
How are chromosomes aligned on a metaphase plate
A
- push and pull forces cooperate to align chromosomes
- chromosome congression
- interpolar/astral MT pushes towards the plus-end-directed kinesin-4,10 motor proteins
- kinetochore-microtubule pulls chromosome

Q
How do sister chromatids separate from each other upon the onset of anaphase
