Mitosis & Cell Parts Flashcards
Chromosomes begin to be visible under a light microscope.
Prophase
The nucleolus and the nuclear membrane disappears.
Prophase
The spindle fibers attach to one side of each centromere.
Prophase
The longest stage in mitosis.
Prophase
The spindle fibers begin to form and extend into the cell from the centrioles that moved to opposite sides of the cell.
Prophase
Third phase of mitosis.
Anaphase
The centromeres seperate.
Anaphase
The spindle fibers begin to contract and shrink and they move towards the opposite sides of the cell.
Anaphase
The spindle fibers pull the doubles stranded chromosomes into a line that passes through the cell in the center.
Metaphase
Chromosomes are now completely visible under an optic microscope.
Metaphase
A complete set of chromosomes is now at each pole of the cell. The spindle fibers begin to disappear. The nuclear membrane begins to form.
Telophase
There are two nucleus in a single cell, and the cell is ready to divide.
Telophase
An equatorial plaque develops in the center of the plant cell which creates a new cell wall between the two new cells.
Telophase
_____ ensures that every new cell that is made receives the same genetic material, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) as the old one.
Mitosis
The process of cell division is called ______
