    Study Notes

    Mitosis Stages

    • The key event that marks the beginning of prophase is the condensation of chromosomes.

    Anaphase

    • Sister chromatids disjoin and are pulled to opposite ends of the cell during anaphase.
    • For complete disjunction of sister chromatids to occur, cohesin must be degraded.

    Telophase

    • Telophase is significant because it is the stage where nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes.
    • During telophase, the process of chromosome uncoiling and reformation of the nuclear envelope occurs.

    Sister Chromatid Cohesion

    • Cohesin is the protein complex responsible for holding sister chromatids together at their centromere regions.
