Mitosis Flashcards
1
Q
Mitosis:
A
It is a process that allows a single eukaryotic cell to divide and produce two genetically identical daughter cells. Mitosis is essential for growth, development, tissue repair
2
Q
Steps of mitosis
A
PROPHASE: NUCLEUS BREAKS DOWN, CENTRIOLES MOVE TO OPPOSITE ENDS OF CELL, DNA CONDENSES TO FORM DISTINCT CHROMOSOMES
3
Q
Metaphase:
A
CHROMONES ARE STACKED ON TOP OF EACHOTHER IN MIDDLE OF CELL, EACH CHROMOSOME IS ATTACHED TO A SPINDLE FIBER BY THE CENTROMERE
4
Q
ANAPHASE:
A
CHROMATIDS SPLIT AT THE CENTROMERE, SPINDLE FIBERS BEGIN TO DISAPPEAR
5
Q
Telophase:
A
NUCLEAR MEMBRANE REAPPEARS, CHROMOSOMES DISPERSE INTO CHROMATIN CYTOKINESIS DIVISION OF CYTOPLASM, CELL PINCHES IN HALF, DIVIDING INTO TWO DAUGHTER CELLS
