Mitosis Phases and Processes

The video tutorial covers the phases of mitosis, including prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. It explains the key events in each phase, such as chromosome condensation, alignment, separation, and cell division. The tutorial also discusses the structure of chromosomes and chromatids, providing a mnemonic to remember the order of phases.

• Never Eat Soggy Waffles

During prophase, what happens to the chromosomes?

• They condense into an X shape

• They disappear

• They split into chromatids

• They line up in the center

What is the role of centrioles during prophase?

• They move to opposite ends and send out spindle fibers

• They condense chromosomes

• They line up chromosomes in the center

• They dissolve the nuclear membrane

What major event characterizes metaphase?

• Chromosomes decondense

• Chromosomes split

• Chromosomes line up in the center

• Chromosomes condense

In anaphase, what happens to the sister chromatids?

• They are pulled apart to opposite sides

• They line up in the center

• They condense

• They dissolve

What is the main event during telophase?

• Nuclear membrane reforms

• Chromosomes line up in the center

• Chromosomes condense

• Chromosomes split

What is cytokinesis?

• The alignment of chromosomes

• The condensation of chromosomes

• The splitting of the cytoplasm

• The splitting of the nucleus

What structure forms during telophase to aid in cytokinesis?

• Chromatid

• Cleavage furrow

• Spindle fibers

• Nuclear envelope

What is the significance of sister chromatids being identical?

• They dissolve during mitosis

• They ensure genetic diversity

• They allow for identical DNA distribution to daughter cells

• They prevent cell division

What holds sister chromatids together?

• Spindle fibers

• Cleavage furrow

• Centromere

• Nuclear membrane
