Mitosis

Question 1

What phase is the resting phase

Answer 1

Interphase

Question 2

Four phases to Mitosis

Answer 2

Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase

Question 3

Cell’s resting place
Cell spends 90% of time in this phase
Cell copies/doubles its chromosomes and prepares for cell to division

Answer 3

Interphase

Question 4

Nucleolus and nuclear membrane disappear
centrioles or poles appear and move to opposite ends of the cell
spindle fibers begin to stretch across the cell like spider webs
chromosome pairs become visible attached to one another by centromere

Answer 4

Prophase

Question 5

Chromosomes pair line up at the equator (center of the cell)

Chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers at the centromere

Answer 5

Metaphase

Question 6

Chromosomes pairs separate and move to opposite end of the cell

Answer 6

Anaphase

Question 7

Two new nuclei form
Chromosomes change to chromatin (threads rather than rods_
Mitosis ends

Answer 7

Telophase

Question 8

Separates and two new cells form

Different in plant cells (cell wall forms down the center) and animal (cell membrane pinches in)

Answer 8

Cytokinesis
