Mitosis 2 Flashcards
What are the four main stages of mitosis?
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Followed by Cytokinesis
chromosomes condense
Prophase
spindle fibers form
Prophase
chromosomes are captured by spindle
Prophase
Tie of the chromosomes
Spindle fiber
chromosomes align along
equator of the cell, with one
kinetochore facing each pole
Metaphase
Center of the cell
Metaphase
sister chromatids separate
Anaphase
spindle fibers attached to
kinetochores shorten and
pull chromatids towards the
poles.
Anaphase
free spindle fibers lengthen
and push poles of cell apart
Anaphase
spindle fibers disintegrate
Telophase
nuclear envelopes form around both groups of chromosomes
Telophase
chromosomes revert to their extended state
Telophase
cytokinesis occurs, enclosing each daughter nucleus into a separate cell
Telophase
Plant cells undergo ———— by forming a cell plate between the two daughter nuclei.
cytokinesis
undergo cytokinesis by forming a cell plate between the two daughter nuclei.
Plant cells
Animal cells undergo ———— through the formation of a cleavage furrow. A ring of microtubules contract, pinching the cell in half.
cytokinesis
undergo cytokinesis through the formation of a cleavage furrow. A ring of microtubules contract, pinching the cell in half.
Animal cells
Plant cells undergo cytokinesis by forming a ———— between the two daughter nuclei.
