mitosis and cancer ♋️ Flashcards
what are the four periods of mitosis
-g1
-s
-g2
-interphase
what is g1 responsible for
growth
what is s responsible
DNA synthesis
what is g2 responsible for
growth and prep for mitosis
what is the interphase responsible for
longest part of mitosis where replication occurs
what is mitosis
somatic cells
what is meiosis
sex cells (sperm and egg cells)
what are the four phases of mitosis
prophase
metaphase
anaphase
telophase
what happens during prophase
-chromatin network condenses forming chromosomes with chromatids
-spindle fibres form between centrioles
-organelles disappear
what happens during metaphase
-chromosomes line on the equator
-spindle fibres attach to centrosomes
what happens during anaphase
-centrosome of chromosome divides into two chromatids
-chromosomes move to opposite poles
-cytokinesis begins
