question
Telomere
answer
Structures at the end of DNA molecules, prevents ends of chromosomes from accidentally attatching to each other
Unlock the answer
question
Prophase
answer
1st Phase of MITOSIS: DNA and proteins CONDENSE into tightly coiled chromosomes, nuclear envelope BREAKS DOWN, CENTRIOLES begin to move to opposite poles, SPINDLE fibers form
Unlock the answer
question
Metaphase
answer
2nd Phase of MITOSIS: Spindle fibers ATTACH to protein structure, ALIGN chromosomes along cell equator
Unlock the answer
question
Anaphase
answer
3rd Phase of MITOSIS: Sister chromatids SEPARATE from each other, SPINDLE fibers SHORTEN, pulls SISTER CHROMATIDS to opposite sides
Unlock the answer
question
Telophase
answer
4th Phase of MITOSIS: Complete set of IDENTICAL chromosomes position at each pole of cell, NUCLEAR MEMBRANE begins to form, CHROMOSOMES UNCOIL, spindle fibers FALL APART
