Mitosis Flashcards
1
Q
Steps of mitosis
A
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
2
Q
Longest part of mitosis
A
Interphase
3
Q
Prophase
A
Chromosomes condense and become visible
Spindle fibers emerge from centrosomes
Nuclear membrane breaks
Centrosomes move towards the poles
4
Q
Interphase
A
DNA is replicated
5
Q
Metaphase
A
Chromosomes line up at equator
Spindle fibers attach to sister chromatids
6
Q
Anaphase
A
Centromeres split in two
Sister chromatids are pulled towards the poles
7
Q
Telophase
A
Chromosomes are at opposite sides of cell
Nuclear membrane comes back around each side
Spindle fibers break down
8
Q
Cytokinesis animal cell
A
Cleavage begins to separate the two sides
9
Q
Cytokinesis plant cell
A
A cell plate separates each side
