|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| first and last phase of mitosis, chromosomes become visible and centrioles move towards opposites of nucleus |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| second stage of mitosis, discrete chromosomes that have identical sister chromatids appear, nuclear envelope fragments, spindle microtubules attach to kinetochores of chromosomes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
Term
|
Definition
| third phase of mitosis, chromosome pairs separate and move toward opposite poles |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| final stage of mitosis, separated chromosomes reach opposite poles of the dividing cell and nuclei of daughter cells form around the 2 sets of chromosomes |
