Anaphase is this phase in Mitosis
What is the 4th phase
Metaphase is this phase in Mitosis
What is the second phase
Telephase is what phase in mitosis
What is the 5th phase
Interphase is the longest phase of the cell before this
what is mitosis
Prophase is what stage of mitosis
What is the first phase
What are pulled apart and move to opposite sides of the cell
what are sister chromatids
During metaphase, chromosomes line up in the center of the cell, forming what
What is the metaphase plate
2 new____ form around separated chromosomes nuclear envelope.
what is the nuclear envelope
During interphase the cell prepares for division by producing this
what are proteins and organelles
Chromatin indeses into what
What are visible chromosomes
The movement is driven by what
What are spindle fibers?
What attach the centromeres of each chromosome ensuring proper separation in the next phase
What are Spindle fibers
Chromosomes start to decondence back into this
What is Chromatin
What occurs during interphase
What is DNA replication
What breaks down allowing chromosomes to move
nuclear envelope
Errors in anaphase can lead to what
What are chromosomal abnormalities
Metaphase has a____which ensures that all chromosomes are correctly attached before the cell proceeds to anaphase. If errors occur, the cell cycle can pause to fix them.
What are spindle checkpoints
This breaks down as the cell begins to split
what are spindle fibers
Interphase has this many main stages
What are 3 phases
What begins to form from centrioles
spindle fibers
What help pull chromatids along the spindle
what are motor proteins
Mistakes during metaphase, such as improper chromosome alignment or attachment, can lead to______a condition where cells receive too many or too few chromosomes, potentially causing disorders like Down syndrome.
What is aneuploidy
Telophase ensures each daughter cell gets a full set of chromosomes, preventing what
what is genetic imbalances
During the S phase of interphase, this molecule is copied to ensure each new cell has identical genetic material.
What is DNA?
Errors in prophase can disrupt chromosome organization leading to what
mitotic failure
