mitosis Flashcards
1
Q
prophase
A
nuclear envelope (membrane that makes up nucleus around DNA breaks down , duplicated chromsomes condense and become visible, (animal cells only) spindle apparatus forms (spindle fibers are like scaffolding)
2
Q
anaphase
A
sister chromatids split at centromere and separate and move to opposite sides/poles of the cell, move by spindle fibers pulling them,
3
Q
Metaphase
A
spindle fibers attach to chromosomes at the centromere
-chromosomes moved to and line up on “metaphase plate” (center of cell, kinda like equator)
Two centromeres are connecting, one from one side of the cell, another from another side of the cell
-two spindle fibers are attached to centromeres
