Prophase
What starts to form in prophase that forms from centrioles?
Spindle fibers
What happens in metaphase?
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
What happens to the chromatids during anaphase?
They are pulled to different sides of the cell.
What new thing forms in telophase?
Nuclear Membrane
Is interphase part of mitosis?
No
What happens to the nuclear membrane during his phase?
Breaks down/disolves
What structure attaches to the chromosomes to move them?
Spindle Fibres
What structure pulls chromatids apart?
Spindle fibers
What happens to chromosome in this phase?
They uncoil into chromatin again
What are the 3 parts of interphase?
What happens to the chromatin during prophase?
Turns into chromosomes
When is it officially changed to metaphase after prophase in mitosis?
When the chromosomes align on the cell equator
What are the sister chromatids called now?
What organelle comes back in the nucleus?
The nucleolus
What happens in the S phase of interphase?
Its copied
What are the halves of the chromosomes called?
Sister Chromatids
What makes sure the chromosomes divide evenly?
Chromosomes align and then spindle fibers pull them apart evenly
What ensures DNA is distributed equally?
Each chromatic moved to opposite parts of the cell.
What separate process forms the cytoplasm?
Cytokenesis
What happens in G1 and G2 phases?
What organelles move to opposite parts of the cell during prophase?
Centrioles
What would happen if a spindle fiber did not attach to a chromosome?
Chromosome would fail to divide correctly and could cause a mutation.
Anaphase is the shortest phase of Mitosis
T or F
true
What form in plant cells to help them divide?
Cell Plate
Why is interphase the longest phase of the cell cycle?
Because in this time it is growing and preparing for mitosis
