Sheylen's Flashcards

• When does the mitotic spindle begin to form in the cytoplasm?

  During prophase
• a structure made up of fibers consisting of microtubules and associated proteins

  Mitotic spindle

  
• Where are kinetochore located?


  attached to the kinetochore microtubules extending from the nearest centrosome; centromere

  
• During what mitosis phase do some of the spindle microtubules attach kinetochore?

  Prometaphase
• On the lower micrograph, draw a line indicating the position of the metaphase plate. Draw arrows showing the directions of chromosome movement when anaphase begins.


  Metaphase plate is in the middle of the spindle fiber & chromosomes move up and down.

  
• processes of cell division

  mitosis & cytokinesis
• the division of the nucleus and its chromosomes

  mitosis
• what are the phases of mitosis


  prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase & telophase
• How do cancer cells differ from normal cells?

  Cancer cells may be immortal
