List the 5 phases of mitosis
|
Prophase
Prometaphase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase |
|
chromosomes have already replicated to produce 12 chromatids joined as six pairs of sister chromatids. Nuclear membrane begins to dissociate, chromatids condense into more compact structures, mitotic spindle begins to form
|
Prophase
|
|
centrosomes move to opposite ends of the cell; spindle fibers interact with the sister chromatids; mitotic spindle is completely formed
|
Prometaphase
|
|
pair of sister chromatids complete alignment along the metaphase plate; pair of sister chromatids have become organized in a line along the plate
|
Metaphase
|
|
connection that holds sister chromatids together is broken; chromosomes move toward poles to which they are attached; poles themselves move farther apart
|
Anaphase
|
|
chromosomes reach respective poles and decondense; nuclear membrane reforms to produce two separate nuclei
|
telophase
|
|
What do mitosis and cytokinesis ultimately produce?
|
2 daughter cells having the same number of chromosomes as the mother cell; these two daughter cells are genetically identical to each other and to the mother cell from which they were divided.
