4 Questions
What happens during the prophase of mitosis?
Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, nuclear membrane disintegrates, and spindle fibers begin to form
During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes separate into two sister chromatids and move towards opposite ends of the cell?
Anaphase
What is the outcome of mitosis in a cell mother?
Producing two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes and identical genetic information
When does the nuclear membranes reform around each set of chromatids to create new nuclei in mitosis?
Telephase (Telophase)
Study Notes
- Mitosis is a form of cellular reproduction in a cell mother, producing two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes and identical genetic information.
- Pre-phase (Prophase): Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, nuclear membrane disintegrates, and spindle fibers begin to form.
- Meta-phase: Chromosomes attach to spindle fibers and align themselves in the middle of the cell.
- Anaphase: Each chromosome separates into two sister chromatids and move towards opposite ends of the cell.
- Telephase (Telophase): Nuclear membranes reform around each set of chromatids, creating two new nuclei, and the cytoplasm divides to form two separate cells.
Test your knowledge of the mitosis process with this quiz. Learn about the different phases such as prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, and understand how a cell divides to form two daughter cells.
