prophase
What is the first phase of mitosis
Prophase
between which phases does prometaphase occur
prophase and metaphase
what comes before metaphase
prometaphase
what phase is anaphase after
metaphase
what is the final phase of mitosis
telophase
the formation of what forms in the prophase
mitotic spindle
prometaphase is the fourth stage in mitosis
(true/false)
false
where are chromosomes pulled by the microtubules
the middle of the cell
they breakdown
how many cells can be formed from the one original cell
two cells
what starts to breakdown
nucleoli
when does prometaphase begin
when the nuclear envelope breaks down
what is the region where the chromosomes line up in the cell during this phase
metaphase plate
what happens to the sister chromatids
they break apart
what is cytokinesis
when the cytoplasm is divided
what condenses
sister chromatids
when does prometaphase end
when all of the kinotochore microtubules attach to the kinetochores
where do the spindle fibers attach to on the chromosomes
the centromere
what are at each side of the cell
when does telophase begin
paired chromosomes have been separated and pulled to opposite sides of the cell
where do centrosomes move
the opposite sides of the nucleus
prometaphase ensures what?
that each daughter cell the correct number of chromosomes during cell division
what are the chromosomes preparing for
to be separated to different sides of the cell
what happens to the kinetochore microtubule fibers
they shorten
what is separated into two identical daughter cells
