Mitotic Cell Cycle Flashcards
stages of the mitotic cell cycle
general cell growth & DNA replication
Interphase
nuclear membrane disappears, nucleolus disappears, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, spindle apparatus forms
prophase
chromosomes line up in metaphase plate (centromere splits to end _______/begin anaphase)
metaphase
sister chromatids (now = separate chromosomes) are pulled to the opposite poles by the spindle apparatus
anaphase
chromosomes reach the opposite poles and clump; events of prophase are reversed (chromosomes to chromatin, nucleolus and nuclear membrane reform, spindle apparatus dismantled); cytokinesis is completed
