Mitosis Flashcards
1
Q
Stages of Mitosis
A
IPMAT
2
Q
Interphase
A
Is the resting phase. Cells are not dividing
3
Q
Prophase
A
> Nuclear membrane breaks down
chromosomes condense
centrioles send out spindle fibres
4
Q
Metaphase
A
> Centromeres and spindle fibres drive the chromosomes to the equator, chromosomes line up
5
Q
Anaphase
A
> Spindle fibres pull chromatids to the opposite poll of cell - separation of sister chromatides
6
Q
Telophase
A
> Centrioles breakdown
Nuclear membrane forms around each set if chromosomes
Two daughter cells form
7
Q
Mitosis
A
Occurs in somatic or body cells
Creates one pair of identical daughter cells
