mitosis Flashcards
1
Q
prophase
A
DNA condense and super coil
nuclear envelop dissolves
centrioles move towards the poles of the cell
spindle fibres start to form from the centrioles
2
Q
metaphase
A
the chromosomes align themselves at the centre of the cell
spindle fibres attach to the centromere
3
Q
anaphase
A
the spindle fibres pull them apart by the centromere
the motor proteins pull them along the centrioles
the chromosomes will assume a V shape
4
Q
telophase
A
the the separated chromosomes will reach poles
a nuclear envelope will form around each new set
5
Q
cytokinesis
A
the plasma membrane will fold inwards to nips the cytoplasm
6
Q
result
A
two new daughter cells are now formed which are genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell
