Functions
What is the main result of cytokinesis?
2 daughter nuclei form
What is the main difference between telophase and cytokinesis?
In telophase the 2 daughter nuclei begin to separate and they don’t actually separate until cytokinesis
What happens to the centrosomes during prophase?
they move apart
What happens to chromosomes during the telophase and cytokinesis?
they become less condensed
What happens to the cell shape in anaphase?
the cell elongates
What happens to the chromosomes during the metaphase?
chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate
What two phases are basically the same?
prophase and prometaphase
Microtubules enter what area during prometaphase?
the nuclear area
What are the main parts of a chromosome?
kinetochores, centromere, sister chromatids
Where are the microtubules attached to during metaphase?
to each kinetochore
What condenses during the prophase?
the chromatin
How many phases are in mitosis?
6
Where are centrosomes in the metaphase?
at opposite poles
What material makes up a chromosome?
chromatin
What happens to the nuclear envelope during prometaphase?
it fragments
What disappears in the prophase and reappears in cytokinesis?
the nucleoli
What phase is different for plants and animals?
cytokinesis
Where do the sister chromatids move to?
seperate and opposite ends of the cell
What happens to the chromosomes during anaphase?
the sister chromatides separate
What happens during cytokinesis in animals?
a cleavage furrow appears due to a contractile ring of actin filaments
What begins to form during the prophase?
mitotoic spindle
What are the 6 stages of mitosis in order?
prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis
Where do vesicles produced by the Golgi travel to during cytokinesis in plants?
the middle of the cell
What do chromosomes appear as in prophase?
sister chromatids
What happens during cytokinesis in plants?
vesicles produced by the Golgi travel to the middle of the cell and form a cell plate
