Study Notes
Mitosis Stages
- Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles during anaphase.
- The main event in prometaphase is the breakdown of the nuclear envelope.
- Metaphase involves the alignment of chromosomes at the cell equator.
- In telophase, chromosomes uncoil and a nuclear envelope forms around each group of chromatids.
- Chromosomes condense and become visible during prophase.
- During prophase, centrosomes move towards opposite poles, characterized by the formation of a spindle apparatus.
- Cytokinesis typically begins during telophase.
Meiosis
- Prophase I involves the independent alignment of homologs and crossing-over.
Mitosis Events
- During prometaphase, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and microtubules from opposite poles attach to the sister chromatids.
- In anaphase, the centromeres divide, and sister chromatids move to opposite poles.
- In metaphase, the chromosomes align on the metaphase plate.
- In telophase, the nuclear envelope forms around each group of chromatids, and the spindle fibers disappear.
- Sister chromatids segregate to different daughter cells during anaphase.
- The nuclear envelope breaks down during prometaphase.
