TEST THAT IMA FAIL ): mitosis and what not Flashcards
What are the stages to mitosis (in order obvi)
Interphase (well not technically apart of mitosis), Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
What happens in interphase
G1 and S and G2
What happens in interphase G1
The cells grow normally until they get a signal to divide and increase in size
What happens in interphase S
The DNA/Chromosomes double
How many chromosomes does a cell have before interphase
46
How many chromosomes does a cell have after interphase
92
How many chromosomes does a cell have after cytoplasm
46
What happens in prophase
Nuclear membrane/envelope starts to disappear, chromosomes condense and spindle fibers form
What is the Nuclear membrane/envelope
A layer that encloses the nucleus and is where all the chromosomes reside
What are spindle fibers?
a network of threads that are formed during the cell division process
What happens in metaphase
Spindle fibers move chromosomes to the center
What is the center called during metaphase
metaphase plate or equator
What happens in anaphase
Spindle fibers contract pulling the sister chromatids to opposite ends of the cell
What are sister chromatids
One half of a chromosome
What happens in telophase
The nuclear membrane starts to reform and spindle fibers starts to disappear and cleavage furrow forms in animal cells and cell plates in plant cells, and chromosomes becomes loose
