Mitosis Flashcards
1
Q
Interphase
A
Nuclear membrane present, chromosomes relaxed
2
Q
Prophase
A
Chromosomes condense and mitotic spindle forms.
3
Q
Prometaphase
A
Nuclear membrane disintegrates, and spindle microtubules anchor to kinetochores.
4
Q
Metaphase
A
Chromosomes align on the metaphase plate; spindle-assembly checkpoint.
5
Q
Anaphase
A
Sister chromatids separate, becoming individual chromosomes that migrate toward spindle poles.
6
Q
Telophase
A
Chromosomes arrive at spindle poles, the nuclear membrane re-forms, and the condensed chromosomes relax.
7
Q
Cytokinesis
A
Cytoplasm divides; cell wall forms in plant cells
8
Q
When does the number of DNA molecules double? When does it get cut in half?
A
S phase, Telophase and cytokinesis
