Metaphase
In metaphase, these line up at the poles
What are the centromeres?
In anaphase, these separate and move to opposite ends of the cell due to microtubules shortening
What are sister chromatids?
In prophase, what happens to the chromatin of the nucleus?
It disappears
In prometaphase, what happens to the nuclear envelope
It fragments
In metaphase, these line up at the metaphase plate
What are chromosomes?
In anaphase what does the cell do?
Elongate
In prophase, what happens to duplicated chromosomes?
they appear as sister chromatids
In prometaphase, what happens to the microtubules?
they enter the nuclear area and some attach to kinetochores
In metaphase, these are attached to each kinetochore
What are microtubules?
This phase comes before anaphase
What is metaphase?
In addition to everything that happens in prophase, what else forms?
Mitotic spindles begin to form
This phase comes after prometaphase
What is metaphase?
This phase comes before metaphase
What is prometaphase?
This phase comes after anaphase
What is telophase and cytokinesis?
In prophase, what happens to the centrosomes?
Centrosomes move away from each other
This phase comes before prometaphase
What is prophase?
This phase comes after metaphase
What is anaphase?
What happens to the cell during anaphase?
sister chromatids are split and brought to corners of the cell
This phase comes after prophase
What is prometaphase?
What does prometaphase look like?
The microtubules at both ends of the cell span over the nuclear region
