|
|
Chromosomes attach to mitotic spindles and align along the equator of the cell.
|
|
|
The cell grows and carries out normal cell processes and DNA replicates.
|
|
|
Chromosomes reach poles of the cell, nuclear envelope, reforms, nucleolus reappears, and chromosomes decondense.
|
|
|
Microtubules shorten moving chromosomes to opposite poles.
|
|
|
Nuclear membrane disintegrates, the nucleolus disappears, chromosomes condense, mitotic spindle begins to form between the poles.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The spindle tubules then shorten and move toward the poles of the cell. As they move, they pull the one copy of each chromosome with them to opposite poles of the cell. This process ensures that each daughter cell will contain one exact copy of the parent cell DNA.
Detailed explanation-2: -In anaphase, the sister chromatids separate from each other and are pulled towards opposite ends of the cell. The protein “glue” that holds the sister chromatids together is broken down, allowing them to separate. Each is now its own chromosome. The chromosomes of each pair are pulled towards opposite ends of the cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Anaphase consists of two phases, anaphase A and B. During anaphase A, the chromosomes move to the poles and kinetochore fiber microtubules shorten; during anaphase B, the spindle poles move apart as interpolar microtubules elongate and slide past one another.
Detailed explanation-4: -The segregation of the replicated chromosomes is brought about by a complex cytoskeletal machine with many moving parts-the mitotic spindle. It is constructed from microtubules and their associated proteins, which both pull the daughter chromosomes toward the poles of the spindle and move the poles apart.
Detailed explanation-5: -During anaphase, each pair of chromosomes is separated into two identical, independent chromosomes. The chromosomes are separated by a structure called the mitotic spindle.
