Q

In this stage, all of the chromatin fibers condense, and the nucleolus disappears. After condensing, chromatin is now known to be chromosome

Q

In this stage, chromosome line up in the center, known as metaphase plate.These chromosomes are attached to spindle fibers by structure called kinetochores

Q

In this stage, each chromosome becomes
separated into two sister chromatids,
which
then migrate towards opposite ends of the
cell through centromere

Q

The membrane separates to produce two new
daughter cells. In animal cells, there is a
formation of cleavage furrow between the
daughter cells. In plant cells, due to cell wall’s
presence, there is a formation of cell plate

A
