Mitosis exam Flashcards
1
Q
Interphase
A
The nucleus is well defined and chromosomes are not visible. (It is during this phase that nuclear DNA replicates)
2
Q
Prophase
A
Double-stranded chromosomes held together at the centromere become progressively more condensed and the nuclear membrane gradually disappears
3
Q
Metaphase
A
The spindle forms in the cell and the fully condensed double-stranded chromosomes line up around the equator of the spindle
4
Q
Anaphase
A
The centromere of each chromosome divides so that the single-stranded chromosomes of the pair migrate to opposite poles of the spindle
5
Q
Telophase
A
A nuclear membrane forms around each of the two groups of separated chromosomes, and the chromosomes progressively becomes less condensed
