List the phases of mitosis in order.
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
What holds two sister chromatids together?
What is the centromere?
In which phase do the nuclear envelopes reform around the separated chromosomes?
What is telophase?
True or False: Mitosis makes four cells
What is false?
Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres and chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during this phase of cell division.
What is metaphase?
At which phase do the chromosomes become visible in the cell?
What is prophase?
What are the identical halves of a duplicated chromosome called?
What are sister chromatids?
At what phase in cell division do the spindle fibers pull the chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell?
What is anaphase?
Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres and chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during this phase of cell division.
Metaphase
Where do chromosomes line up during mitosis?
What is the middle of the cell or metaphase plate?
