Cell cycle
by Bharathi Jayakumaran
1. (b) chromatin replicates to form 2 sister chromatids
2. No u
3. (d) spindle fibres form
4. Interphase (Resting stage)
5. Cytokinesis (Division of cytoplasm)
6. (b) spindle fibres shorten and pull sister chromatids apart to opposite poles, forming daughter chromosomes
7. (b) furrow deepens to produce 2 genetically identical daughter cells
8. (b) centromere of chromosome attached to both sides of spindle fibre
9. (a) chromatin threads coil, condense and shorten to become chromosomes
10. (c) in plant cells, cell plate is formed by fusing vesicles between 2 nuclei dividing the cell into two. (no centrioles in plant cell)
11. 3. Anaphase
12. (a) in animal cells, furrows/ cleavage appear in cytoplasm between 2 nuclei
13. Mitosis (Nuclear division)
13.1. 1. Prophase
13.1.1. (c) daughter chormosomes uncoil and lengthen to become thin chromatin threads
13.1.2. (b) in animal cells, aster form around centrioles
13.2. (c) nucleolus and nuclear envelope disappear
13.3. 2. Metaphase
13.3.1. (a) chromosome line up at equator
13.4. (a) centromere divides
13.5. 4. Telophase
13.5.1. (a) spindle fibres break down
13.5.2. (b) nucleolus and nuclear envelope forms at each pole
