Mitosis Flashcards
1
Q
interphase
A
part of the life cycle of the cell not in mitosis, most of the time for a cell
2
Q
steps of Mitosis
A
Please Pee on the MAT P-prophase 1 )early) P- prophase 2 (late) M-metaphase A-anaphase T-telophase
3
Q
Mitosis definition
A
process by which a nucleus reproduces making two identical daughter cells-
4
Q
early prophase
A
1/6 mitotic spindle forms, chromosomes start to condense
5
Q
late prophase
A
2/6 nuclear envelope breaks down - chromosomes fully condense
6
Q
metaphase
A
3/6 chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate
7
Q
anaphase
A
4/6 non-kintochare microtubules push poles apart
kintochare microtubules pull chromosomes toward poles
8
Q
telophase
A
5/6 de-condense, spindle disappears, nuclear membrane reforms, nucleas reappears
9
Q
cytokenisis
A
6/6 cells split apart
10
Q
end result
A
2 identical daughter cells with exact same genetic info as original
11
Q
purpose
A
organism grows larger, heals, etc.
