Are chromosomes visible in telophase?
In prophase, the nucleolus disappears and chromosomes condense and become visible. In telophase, chromosomes arrive at opposite poles, and nuclear envelope material surrounds each set of chromosomes. Finally, in cytokenesis, the two daughter cells are separated.
What happens in prometaphase of mitosis?
Prometaphase is the second phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. During prometaphase, the physical barrier that encloses the nucleus, called the nuclear envelope, breaks down.
What happens prometaphase?
What Happens during Prometaphase? During prometaphase, phosphorylation of nuclear lamins by M-CDK causes the nuclear membrane to break down into numerous small vesicles. As a result, the spindle microtubules now have direct access to the genetic material of the cell.
What are the 7 stages of meiosis?
Comparison to mitosis
| Meiosis | |
|---|---|
| Steps | Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II |
| Genetically same as parent? | No |
| Crossing over happens? | Yes, normally occurs between each pair of homologous chromosomes |
| Pairing of homologous chromosomes? | Yes |
Which of the following occur during prophase prometaphase of mitosis in animal cells?
The correct answer is d.) The replication of chromosomes occurs in interphase of mitotic division. The 2N chromosomes change into 4N chromosomes to indicate that the cell is ready for division. Prometaphase is the late stage of prophase and early stage of interphase. All other options are applicable to prometaphase.
What is the purpose of the prometaphase in mitosis?
What happens at prometaphase?
What happens to the centrosome during prometaphase?
At prometaphase (late prophase) the chromosomes condense inside the nuclear envelope and asters of fibers appear on the outside of the chromosomes. The centrosome replicates in late G1 and S phases and the pair can be observed just outside the nuclear envelope.
