4
Q
What is cytokinesis?
A

5
Q
What is prophase?
A
-chromosomes condense
-nucleus envelope breaks down
-spindle fibres form between centrioles
6
Q
What happens during metaphase?
A
-chromosomes line up at the equator
-spindle fibres attach to centromeres
7
Q
What happens at anaphase?
A
-centromeres split
-sister chromatids pull to opposite poles
8
Q
What happens during telophase?
A
-chromatically reach poles
-nuclear envelope reforms
-chromosomes uncoil becoming thin and long
