Mitosis Flashcards
1
Q
stages of mitosis
A
- interphase
- prophase
- metaphse
- anaphase
- telophase
2
Q
interphase
A
nothing is visible due to an intact nuclear membrane
chromosomes are duplicated
3
Q
prophase
A
nuclear membrane breaks down, therefore duplicated chromosomes become visible
centrioles migrate to opposite pole and spindle fibres form
4
Q
metaphase
A
chromosomes line up at the equator
centrioles at opposite poles have spindle fibres attached to centromeres
5
Q
anaphase
A
spindle fibres retract, pulling chromatids to opposite poles
6
Q
telophase
A
cytokinesis
nuclear membrane forms around chromosomes at opposite poles
2 identical daughter cells are produced
7
Q
mitosis
A
the process by which one cell becomes two identical cells - necessary for growth and repair
