Interphase is the shortest or longest stage and it is the what stage
Longest stage the prep stage
Why is mitosis short ?
The phase is vulnerable because there is no nuclear membrane to protect and separation of chromosomes
What are the stages of interphase ?
G1, S ,G2
What happens during g1
Cellar contents excluding chromosomes are duplicated
What happens during s
Each of the 46 chromosomes is duplicated by the cell
What happens during G2
Cell double checks the duplicated chromosomes for error making repairs
Prophase
Chromosomes condense become visible
Spindle divers emerge from centrosomes nuclear envelope breaks down
Centrosomes move toward opposite poles
Metaphase
chromosomes lined up at metaphase plate
Each sister chromatid is attached to a spider fiber from opposite poles
Anaphase
Centromeres split in two
Sister chromatids )now-called chromosomes ) are pulled toward opposite poles
Certain spindle fibers elongate cell
Telophase
Chromosomes arrive at opposite poles and begin to decondense
Nuclear envelope material surrounds each set of chromatids
Mitotic spindle breaks down
Spindle fibers continue to push poles apart
