3 Questions
During which phase of mitosis does the spindle apparatus become fully developed?
Metaphase
What occurs at the end of telophase?
Cytokinesis
What is the process of physical splitting of the cytoplasmic membrane and cell contents to form two daughter cells called?
Cytokinesis
Study Notes
- In prophase, the cell grows and the chromosomes are duplicated.
- In metaphase, the membrane surrounding the nucleus dissolves and the spindle apparatus becomes fully developed.
- In anaphase, each sister chromatid pair separates at the centromere and becomes two separate chromosomes.
- In telophase, the two chromosome sets reach opposite cell poles and nuclear membranes re-form.
- Telophase ends with cytokinesis, the physical splitting of the cytoplasmic membrane and cell contents to form two daughter cells.
