Mitosis Flashcards
1
Q
Definition
A
One mother cell gives rise to two daughter cells with the identical genetic makeup as the original mother cell
- DNA replication
2
Q
Interphase
A
Normal cell activity
3
Q
Prophase (prepare)
A
-chromatin network unwinds
-spindle fibres form
-nuclear membrane disappears
4
Q
Metaphase (middle)
A
-chromosomes move to equator
-chromosomes attached to spindle fibres at the centromere
5
Q
Anaphase (apart)
A
-chromosomes split
-chromosomes are pulled to pole of cell by spindle fibres
6
Q
Telophase (two nuclei)
A
Two nuclei formed
Two new cells are formed
Interphase begins again in each cell
