Pathak- Mitosis

Question 0

Cytokinesis

Answer 0

A process in which the cytoplasm is divided about equally between the two daughter cells

Question 1

Mitosis

Answer 1

• The process of nuclear division that preserves the DIPLOID number of chromosomes
• number of chromosomes stays the same
• creates 2 diploid cells

Question 2

Early Prophase

Answer 2

• chromosomes condense and coil up (shorten)

- spindle microtubules begin to form between separating centriole pairs

Question 3

Late prophase

Answer 3

• nucleus disappears
• nuclear envelope breaks down
• spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochore of each sister chromatid

Question 4

Metaphase

Answer 4

• spindle fibers running to opposite poles each pull towards its own pole
• each chromosome line up at the cell’s equator
• phase ends when all the chromosomes have lined up along the equator with one kinetochore facing each pole

Question 5

Anaphase

Answer 5

• sister chromatid separate and move to opposite pole of the cell
• spindle microtubules push poles apart

Question 6

Telephase

Answer 6

• spindle fiber disintegrate
• nuclear envelope form around chromosomes
• chromosomes revert to their extended state
• nucleoli reappears

Question 7

Plant Cells

Answer 7

1. Carbohydrate filled vesicles bud off the Golgi complex and move to the equator of the cell
2. Vesicles fuse to form a new cell wall and plasma membrane between daughter cells
3. Complete separation of daughter cells
