Mitosis Flashcards
mitosis
a part of the cell cycle process by which chromosomes in a cell nucleus are separated into two identical sets of chromosomes, each in its own nucleus
What are the four stages of mitosis?
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase (PMAT)
What are the four stages of mitosis?
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase (PMAT)
metaphase
a stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle in which chromosomes are at their most condensed and coiled stage
prophase
the first phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells
anaphase
the stage of mitosis or meiosis when chromosomes are split and the sister chromatids move to opposite poles of the cell
telophase
the final phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells
