mitosis phases
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| interphase | After chromosome replication, each chromosome is composed of two sister chromatids . Centrosomes have replicated |
| prophase | chromosomes condense, and spindle apparatus begins to form |
| prometaphase | Nuclear envelope breaks down, microtubules contact chromosomes at kinetochores |
| metaphase | chromosomes complete migration to middle of cell |
| anaphase | sister chromatids separate into daughter chromosomes and are pulled to opposite poles of the spindle apparatus |
| telophase | the nuclear envelope re-forms, and chromosomes de-condense |
| cell division begins | Actin-myosin ring causes the plasma membrane to begin pinching in |
| cell division is complete | two daughter cells form |
