attach to centromere to pull chromosomes part in mitosis |
Kinetochore microtubules |
|
Mitosis |
replication in eukaryotes Prophase-compact prometaphase-centrioles capture chromosomes using microtubule filaments metaphase - sister chromatid align along the metaphase plate Anaphase - breaks part chromatid telophase-nuclear envelope reforms |

Maternal-to-Zygote transition |
|
first act of meiosis in which cell division occurs second splits those in 2 so they have half the genes |
Meiosis 1 meiosis 2 |
|
pairing of 2 homologous Chromosomes that occurs during meiosis occurs in prophase |
