mitosis Flashcards
what is mitosis
The division of nuclear material.
interphase
Normal cell activity. Chromosomes duplicate into two sister chromatids.
prophase
Chromosomes become thicc. Centrioles separate and move to opposite poles. Nuclear membrane dissolves. Shit is about to go down in the cell.
metaphase
Sister chromatids line up at the equatorial plate (the middle/m for middle). Spindle fibres attach to the chromosomes.
anaphase
Centromeres divide and chromosomes move to opposite poles.
telophase
Spindle fibres dissolve and nuclear membrane comes back (and betta than eva). Chromatin becomes thinner and lengthens.
cytokinesis
Cytoplasm and other organelles divide. Sometimes occurs with telophase.
cytokinesis in plant cells
New cell wall develops. Starts from the middle and grows outward.
cytokinesis in animal cells
A furrow (indentation) develops.
