Mitosis

Question 1

Prophase

Answer 1

During prophase the nuclear membrane dissolves and the chromosomes condense.

Question 2

Metaphase

Answer 2

Metaphase is indicated by the chromosomes lining up at the metaphase plate and formation of the spindle apparatus.

Question 3

Anaphase

Answer 3

Anaphase is indicated by separation of the chromosomes and migration toward the opposite poles of the cell.

Question 4

Telophase

Answer 4

Telophase is indicated by the nuclear membranes beginning to re- form and the chromosomes unwinding.

Question 5

Spindle Apparatus

Answer 5

hold the spindle fibers and helps in anaphase

Question 6

Centriole

Answer 6

they are tubules that are involved in the organization of the spindle apparatus

Question 7

Spindle Fibers

Answer 7

wind in to help in anaphase. pulls on the chromosomes to separate them

Question 8

what does mitosis yield

Answer 8

2 genetically identical, diploid daughter cells, which are also genetically identical to the mother cell that produced them. Centromeres split

Question 9

interphase

Answer 9

Many diagrams will also show the beginning of cytokinesis. Some diagrams will also show a single cell with a well-defined nuclear membrane and uncoiled chromosomes. This would indicate interphase

Question 10

What phase does this show?

Answer 10

Anaphase

Question 11

What phase does this show?

Answer 11

Cytokenesis

Question 12

What phase does this show?

Answer 12

Metaphase

Question 13

What phase does this show?

Answer 13

Prophase

Question 14

What phase does this show?

Answer 14

Telophase

Question 15

Mitosis yields:

Answer 15

two genetically identical, diploid daughter cells which are indentical to the mother cell
