The Cell Cycle and Mitosis Flashcards
1
Q
When does the spindle apparatus first, initially interact with the kinetochore fibers?
A
Near the end of prophase.
2
Q
When does the spindle apparatus align chromosomes at the equatorial plate?
A
During the metaphase.
3
Q
What is the latest stage in which something can be added to a genome in order for it to arise as a result of mitosis?
A
S stage. G1 phase would also work but that is the earliest stage due to it preceding the S stage.
4
Q
When does spindle apparatus formation occur?
A
During prophase.
5
Q
What happens to chromatin during prophase?
A
During prophase, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, the spindle apparatus forms and the nucleoli and nuclear membrane disappear.
6
Q
Does the nucleoli disappear during prophase? True or False.
A
True.
