Question 6

name the phases of mitosis in order

Answer 6

interphase
prophase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase + cytokinesis

Question 7

what happens in interphase

Answer 7

chromosomes in cells divide and replicate
copies join at centromere

Question 8

what happens in prophase

Answer 8

chromosomes become visible - shorten and thicken
spindles form at each centriole

Question 9

what happens in metaphase

Answer 9

chromosomes line up at equator and become attached to spindle by centromere

Question 10

what happens in anaphase

Answer 10

spindle fibres contract pulling chromatids apart from centromere
causes chromatids to form v shape

Question 11

what happens in telophase

Answer 11

chromosomes reach opposite poles
chromosomes uncoil and become very long and thin
nuclear envelope forms around each group of chromosomes
2 nuclei form

Question 12

what happens in cytokinesis

Answer 12

cytoplasm divides
