Stages of Mitosis

Question 1

Enumerate the different stages of Mitosis, IN ORDER

Answer 1

1. Prophase
2. Metaphase
3. Anaphase
4. Telophase

Question 2

Chromosomes are long, thin, coiled filaments [Chromatids]. That eventually become short and thick with two identical strands held by the centromere

Answer 2

Prophase

Question 3

Nuclear membrane disintegrates and the nucleolus disappears

Answer 3

Prophase

Question 4

Centrioles in centrosomes move toward the opposite poles forming the asters that become the spindle fibers

Answer 4

Prophase

Question 5

Centromeres of the chromosomes are qttached to the spindle fibers aligned at the equator of the cell

Answer 5

Metaphase

Question 6

Separation of the chromosomes moving to the opposite poles

Answer 6

Anaphase

Question 7

Cleavage furrow is formed to divide the cytoplasm & produce two daughter cells

Answer 7

Telophase

Question 8

Nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear

Answer 8

Telophase

Question 9

Chromosomes are again long and threadlike

Answer 9

Telophase

Question 10

Tell what happens during Prophase

Answer 10

1. Chromosomes are long, thin and coiled filaments [chromatids] that eventually become short and thick held by two identical strands held by the centromere
2. Nuclear membrane disintegrates anf nucleolus disappears
3. Centrioles in the centrosomes move toward the opposite poles forming asters that become spindle fibers

Question 11

Tell what happens during Metaphase

Answer 11

Centromeres of the chromosomes are attached to the spindle fibers and aligned at the equator of the cell

Question 12

Tell what happens during Anaphase

Answer 12

Separation of chromosomes moving to the opposite poles

Question 13

Tell what happens during Telophase

Answer 13

1. Cleavage furrow is formed to divide the cytplasm and produce two daughter cells
2. Nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear

3 Chromosomes are again long and threadlike
