Mitosis Cell Division Stages Flashcards
1
Q
What happens in interphase
A
The longest process, where the cell grows , increases the amount of sub cellular structures and replicates it’s DNA
2
Q
What happens in prophase
A
The membrane around the nucleus breaks down and the chromatids condense into chromosomes.
3
Q
What happens in metaphase
A
The chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
4
Q
What happens in anaphase
A
Spindle fibres pull apart the chromosomes moving them to the opposite poles of the cell
5
Q
What happens in telophase
A
Membranes form around the nuclear membrane of the new cells. And the spindle fibres begin to break down.
6
Q
What happens in cytokinesis
A
Two diploid daughter cells genetically identical too each other and the parents are formed.
