plant mitosis Flashcards
slide 1- early prophase
the __________ and _____________ can be seen in the nucleus of cell A
very dark nucleoli / smaller granules of chromatin
slide 8- late telophase
why is interphase not really a resting stage?
the cell is carrying on all functions of life except cell division
slide 8- late telophase
the chromosomes have become ______ and _______- cell division begins in cell B?
thicker / shorter
slide 2- prophase
in this stage, the chromosomes have continued to become _____________ and can now be seen ____________
shorter and thicker / very clearly inside the nucleus
slide 3- metaphase
the chromosomes have developed into __________ and have moved to _______________
short, thick rods / the equatorial plate
slide 4- early anaphase
the chromosome has ______ and the two parts are separating; __________ appear
doubled / spindle fibres
slide 4- early anaphase
what is the function of the spindle fibre?
they are pulling the two parts of each chromosome apart
slide 5- anaphase
all chromosomes have _________
separated
slide 5- anaphase
what is the main function of mitosis?
producing two duplicate sets of chromosomes
slide 6- late anaphase
how is cell F different from cell E?
the chromosomes are moving to opposite ends of the cell as opposed to just being separated
slide 6- late anaphase
how does the amount and kind of chromosomes in the two sets compare with the original cells?
they are exactly the same
slide 7 and 8- telophase
what are 5 things occurring in telophase and late telophase?
individual chromosomes can no longer be seen
spindle fibres are clearly visible between masses
cell walls are not fully developed
new nuclei can be seen with nucleoli and some chromatin throughout
cell walls develop fully and divide original cell into two complete cells
