Mitosis (In Depth) Flashcards
1
Q
Interphase
A
- Cell copies DNA
- Cell becomes larger ready for division
2
Q
Prophase
A
Two copied DNA condenses into chromosomes
Microtubules form spindles, which will help to pull chromosomes apart later
3
Q
Metaphase
A
Chromosomes line up in the centre of the cell
Spindles grabs onto chromatids (one half of the chromosome)
4
Q
Anaphase
A
Chromatids separate and move away from eachother along the spindle to opposite ends
5
Q
Telophase
A
Spindle fibres dissolve
Chromosomes decondence
Nuclear membranes surrounds each set of chromosome
6
Q
Cytokinesis
A
Divides the cytoplasm into two different cells
