Mitosis Process and Structures

The video tutorial guides viewers through drawing the stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. It explains the changes in the cell during each phase, such as the disappearance of the nuclear membrane, alignment of chromosomes, separation of sister chromatids, and formation of new nuclear membranes. The tutorial emphasizes labeling key structures like centrioles, spindle fibers, and centromeres, providing a comprehensive understanding of mitosis.

What materials are needed to start drawing a mitosis diagram?

• A textbook, a notebook, and a highlighter

• A ruler, a pencil, and a calculator

• A piece of paper, a pen, and a clean work surface

• A computer, a printer, and a scanner

In Prophase, what happens to the nuclear membrane?

• It becomes thicker

• It disappears from view

• It doubles in size

• It changes color

During Prophase, what structure begins to form from the centrioles?

• Spindle fibers

• Chromatin

• Cell wall

• Nuclear envelope

In Metaphase, where do the chromosomes align?

• At the nuclear envelope

• At the centrioles

• At the metaphase plate

• At the cell membrane

What is the role of spindle fibers during Metaphase?

• They attach to the centromeres of chromosomes

• They create energy for the cell

• They dissolve the nuclear membrane

• They form the cell wall

What significant event occurs during Anaphase?

• Chromosomes condense

• Sister chromatids separate

• Cell wall forms

• Nuclear membrane reforms

How does the cell shape change during Anaphase?

• It remains unchanged

• It becomes rounder

• It stretches into an oval

• It forms a square

In Telophase, what happens to the spindle fibers?

• They change color

• They double in number

• They disappear

• They become more prominent

What new structure forms around each set of chromosomes during Telophase?

• Cell wall

• Nuclear membrane

• Spindle fibers

• Centrioles

What is the final shape of the cell during Telophase?

• Triangular

• Square

• Round

• Peanut or lab goggles shape
