P.M.A.T Flashcards
1
Q
prophase
A
-longest period
-chromatin condense
-centrioles move to opposite sides
-spindles form
-nuclear envelope dissolves
2
Q
metaphase
A
-second phase
-spindles attach
-chromosomes are aligned in the middle of the cell
3
Q
anaphase
A
-third phase
-centromeres split
-spindles shorten and pull
-chromosomes are pulled to opposite sides
4
Q
telophase
A
-fourth phase
-nuclear envelopes form around each set of chromosomes
-chromosomes uncoil
-nucleus becomes visible
-spindles disappear
5
Q
cytokinesis
A
-division of cell cytoplasm
- occurs at the same time as telophase
-results are 2 identical daughter cells
