Cards in this deck (7)
- 1List the stages of mitosis in order.0. (Interphase)
1. Prophase
2. Metaphase
3. Anaphase
4. Telophase - 2Describe Interphase.Stage 0
Cell is actively synthesising proteins.
Chromosomes invisible.
Prior to mitosis, DNA replicates. - 3Describe Prophase.Stage 1
Chromosomes become visible.
Nuclear envelope disintegrates.
Nucleolus disappears. - 4Describe Metaphase.Stage 2
Spindle forms.
Chromosomes line up on the centre of the cell. - 5Describe Anaphase.Stage 3
Spindle fibres attached to chromatids contract.
Chromatids are pulled towards poles. - 6Describe Telophase.Stage 4
Chromosomes reach poles and become indistinct.
Nuclear envelope reforms.
Nucleolus reforms.
Spindle disintegrates. - 7Define MitosisMitosis produces two daughter cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell and each other.
