Mitosis Flashcards
Interphase
The cell gets the signal to start the cell cycle, while the cell preforms all of its organelles functions; replicate DNA
Prophase
Spindles form between centrioles; the nuclear membrane disappears
Metaphase
The chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell; spindle fibers attach
Anaphase
The spindles untwist the chromosomes and pull them to either sides of the cell
Telophase
The cell pinches in the middle; nuclear membrane reappears
Cytokinesis
The two daughters cells are formed and the cycle keeps going back at Interphase
Four reasons the cell cycle is important:
Replace old cells, repair cells, grow, and to reproduce
What is PMAT as a whole?
Mitosis
Since a plant cell has a cell wall, a ______ must be formed between the two new daughter cells.
