Telophase & Cytokinesis
Two of these nuclei are formed.
Two daughter
What is the second stage after prometaphase?
Anaphase
What separates and moves to opposite ends of the cell due to microtubules shortening?
Sister chromatids
What is attached to each kinetochore?
Microtubules
This is condensed in the prophase stage.
Chromatin
How many nuclei are formed
2
What breaks down during this phase?
Nuclear envelope
Sister chromatids are _______ from each other.
Separate
Where do chromosomes align in the cell?
Center
Where does the nucleoli go?
It disappears/break down
When does telophase finish
When nuclei are formed
Where do microtubules enter?
Nuclear area
What happens to microtubules in this phase?
They begin to shorten
Chromosomes of a cell ______ together.
Duplicated chromosomes are known as
Sister chromatids
Nuclear DNA separates from what?
Cytoplasm
What's the job of prometaphase in cell division?
Prepares the chromosomes for proper alignment
What happens to the cell?
It elongates
Where are centrosomes located?
At opposite ends of the cell
In which direction do centrosomes move from one another?
Away from each other
What happens to the spindle?
It disappears
What specific molecular events facilitate the attachment of microtubules to the kinetochores of chromosomes?
Prometaphase is characterized by the breakdown of the nuclear envelope and the formation of spindle fibers.
What pulls apart during anaphase in cells?
The copied chromosomes or genetic material
What is each sister chromatid attached to?
A spindle fiber
What is the macromolecule machine that separates chromosomes to two daughter cells?
Mitotic spindle
