mitosis

    Cards (6)

    • Early prophase:
      1. chromosomes condense making chromatids visible
      2. centrioles move to the cells poles
    • Late prophase:
      1. nuclear envelope and nucleus disappear
      2. spindle fibres attach to the centromere
    • Metaphase:
      1. chromosomes line up on the equatorial plate
    • Anaphase:
      1. centromeres split
      2. chromosomes separate and are pulled apart to opposite poles
      3. spindle fibres shorten
    • Telophase:
      1. chromosomes decondense
      2. nuclear membrane reforms
      3. spindle disappears
      4. DNA starts to uncoil
    • Cytokinesis:
      1. cleavage furrow forms in animal cells
      2. membrane pulled inwards
      3. cytoplasmic division
      4. protein filaments contract
