Match the following stages/events with their descriptions related to mitosis:
Match the following stages/events with their descriptions related to mitosis:
Cytokinesis = The stage that occurs immediately after mitosis, when the nuclei and organelles of the original cell split into two daughter cells Mitotic spindle checkpoint = An active signal that prevents a dividing cell from going into anaphase until all the chromosomes are lined up properly and attached to the spindle Endoreduplication = The duplication of genetic material in a cell without mitosis Non-disjunction = When a chromosome doesn’t fully separate, leaving one daughter cell with three copies of a specific chromosome, and the other daughter cell with just one copy
Match the following structures/terms with their descriptions related to mitosis:
Match the following structures/terms with their descriptions related to mitosis:
Kinetochore = The protein structure that links chromosomes to microtubules during mitosis; each chromosome has two Phragmosome = The sheet of cytoplasm that divides a plant cell in two before mitosis Sister chromatids = Identical copies of a chromosome Chromatin = The mixture of DNA and protein molecules that makes up chromosomes
Match the following processes/events with their descriptions related to mitosis:
Match the following processes/events with their descriptions related to mitosis:
Mitosis = The process of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell Endoreduplication = The duplication of genetic material in a cell without mitosis Cytokinesis = The stage that occurs immediately after mitosis, when the nuclei and organelles of the original cell split into two daughter cells Non-disjunction = When a chromosome doesn’t fully separate, leaving one daughter cell with three copies of a specific chromosome, and the other daughter cell with just one copy
