Mitosis Flashcards
Phase when the cell grows, and the organelles double prior to the splitting of the cell.
Interphase
93% of the cell’s life is spent in this phase.
Interphase
The process by which the cell grows into two identical nuclei.
Mitosis
Chromosomes now called chromatids that pair up and line up in the center of the nucleus.
Prophase
A centromere connects the two halves of the doubled chromatids.
Prophase
A fibrous structure from the cytoplasm which forms to the centriole.
Spindle Fibers
Centrioles move to opposite side of the cell.
Prophase
Nuclear membrane breaks down.
Prophase
Centromeres of the chromatid pairs line up in the middle of the cell.
Metaphase
Location where the centromeres line up in the center of the cell.
Metaphase Plate
By the end of this phase, each chromatid has attached to spindle fibers.
Metaphase
The spindle fibers move the chromatids apart.
Anaphase
The chromatids separates from its duplicate, moving to opposite sides of the cell.
Anaphase
Two identical sets of chromosomes form in this stage.
Anaphase
Where spindle fibers break up.
