Mitosis

Question 1

What does mitosis produce

Answer 1

2 genetically identical diploid daughter cells

Question 2

What happens in interphase : g1 s g2

Answer 2

Cell is growing and dna is replicated
G1: cell elongates and new proteins are made
S: cell replicated dna
G2: cells elongates further and cell checks for errors

Question 3

What are the 3 stages of mitosis

Answer 3

Mitosis
Interphase
Cytokinesis

Question 4

3 reasons why mitosis is important

Answer 4

Growth
Repair
Reporduction

Question 5

What happens in prophase:
- chromatin
- membrane
- fibres
- migrate

Answer 5

Chromatin condensed into chromosomes
Nuclear membrane is breaking down
Spindle fibres appear
Centrioles migrate to poles of cell

Question 6

What happens in metaphase

Answer 6

Chromosomes become visible
Chromosomes align at equator
Spindle fibres attached to centromeres

Question 7

What happens at anaphase

Answer 7

Sister chromatids move to poles
Spindle fibres shorten
Centromeres shorten and split

Question 8

What happens at telophase

Answer 8

Spindle fibres disappear
2 groups of chromosomes uncoil
Nuclear membrane reforms

Question 9

What happens at cytokinesis

Answer 9

Cell membrane and cytoplasm split into two
