BIOL 2040 Chapter Notes - Chapter 11: Spindle Apparatus, Sister Chromatids, Nuclear Membrane
Document Summary
~1. prophase: chromosomes condense, centrosomes radiate microtubules and migrate to opposite poles. Prometaphase: microtubules of the mitotic spindle attach to chromosomes. ~4. anaphase: sister chromatids separate and travel to opposite sides. ~5. telophase: nuclear envelope re-forms and chromosomes condense. ~mitotic spindle- pulls the chromosomes into daughter cells. ~nuclear envelope breaks down microtubules of the mitotic spindle attach to chromosomes. ~kinetochores-one on each side, ensures each sister chromatid is attached to a spindle from one pole to the next. ~centromere splits, spindle shortens, pulling to opposite sides. ~spindle breaks down and disappears, nuclear envelope reforms around each cell, chromosomes condense, two nuclei form. ~animal cells- contractile ring forms and splits in the middle by actin filament. ~cytokinesis-during telophase forms phragmoplast and during anaphase form a new cell wall. ~meiotic division- sexual reproduction, gametes fuse, two rounds of nuclear division. ~meiosis 1- homologous chromosomes separate chromosomes by half, begins with prophase 1. Synapsis occurs which creates a four-stranded structure called a bivalent.
