Science 4 Flashcards
What happens during prophase of mitosis?
The spindle fibers form and the centrioles moves to opposite sides of the cell. The nuclear membrane disappears.
Name the four phases of mitosis.
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
What happens during metaphase?
The chromosomes align midway along the spindle fibers.
What happens during anaphase of mitosis?
The chromosomes begin to separate from their daughters. Cytokinesis begins.
What happens during telophase of mitosis?
Identical sets of chromosomes are at opposite ends of the cell. Spindle fibers disappear, nuclear membranes reappear, and cytokinesis completes.
Name the eight phases of meiosis.
Prophase one, metaphase one, anaphase one, telophase one, prophase two, metaphase two, anaphase two, telophase two
In meiosis, what happens during prophase one?
Homologous chromosomes condense and link in the process forming tetrads. This allows crossing over or recombination to occur.
And meiosis, what occurs during metaphase 1?
Homologous chromosomes move to the metaphase plate.
In meiosis, what happens during anaphase 1?
Homologous chromosomes separate, but the sister chromatids stay together.
In my meiosis, what occurs in telophase 1?
Cytokinesis has occurred and two haploid daughter cells are the result.
In meiosis, what occurs during prophase two?
A brief stage in which spindle fibers begin to reappear and centrioles move to opposite poles.
In meiosis, what occurs during metaphase 2?
Sister chromatids align at a new metaphase plate.
During meiosis, what occurs during anaphase two?
Sister chromatids separate again.
During meiosis, what occurs during telophase two?
Four haploid cells results after cytokinesis.
During meiosis, a _______ cell will give rise to four ______ cells.
Diploidy, haploid
True or false. Mitosis and meiosis occur in all types of cells.
False. Mitosis occurs to replace old cells in the all cell types, while meiosis occurs in gametes to bring about genetic variation amongst offspring.
