Mitosis Flashcards
Interphase
ROPA
Replication of DNA
Organelles produces
Protein synthesis
ATP synthesis
Prophase
Chromosomes condense- visible
Spindle fibres form
Centrioles move to opposite poles
Nuclear membrane and nucleolus dissapear
Metaphase
Chromosomes line up in middle
Attach to spindle fibres at centromere
Anaphase
Centromeres separate
Spindle fibres contract
Chromosomes pulled to opposite poles
Telophase
Chromatids uncoil
Spindle fibres break down
Nucleoli and nuclear membrane reappear
Cytokinesis
cell membrane closes fully
create 2 fully separate cells
Crossing over
Exchange of alleles between homologous chromosomes
At Chiasma
Independent assortment
Pairs of homologous chromosomes line up randomly on the equator
