BIO101 CH3 Phases
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Mitosis | Division of nucleus. |
| Interphase | Growth of cell; maintenance of normal functions. |
| Prophase | Chromatin condenses to form chromosomes; centrioles move to opposite sides of cytoplasm; nuclear envelope and nucleolus disperse. |
| Metaphase | Middle; all chromosomes line up at center; spindle fibers from centrioles attach to chromosomes and align them midway between centrioles. |
| Anaphase | Split apart from any side of cell; chromosomes separate and move in opposite directions toward centrioles as the spindle fibers shorten. |
| Telophase | Opposite of prophase; finish cytokinesis; put back nuclear envelope; chromosomes return to chromatin structure; nuclear envelope forms around each chromosome set; nucleoli become visible. |
| Cytokinesis | Occurs during anaphase; splits cytoplasm in half; division of cytoplasm. |
