Which stage of mitosis is critical or important in both animal and plant cells? Why?

Why is it important for chromosomes to be condensed during mitosis anddecondensed during interphase?

What is formed at the end of mitosis?

In normally dividing cells, once chromosomes have been properly segregated via the steps of mitosis, the two resulting “daughter cells” separate. In animal cells (and other cell types without a cell wall) the contractile ring plays a crucial role in the process of cytokinesis. Exactly how the contractile ring is accurately positioned, so as to be located midway between the two poles (ends) of the dividing cell, is still not fully understood, although factors released from the mitotic spindle are thought to play a role.Regardless of the precise positioning mechanism, one key player in the assembly of the contractile ring is the GTP/GDP binding protein Rho. In its active form, Rho can stimulate the activity of the actin-binding protein formin and (via effects on the myosin regulatory light chain) that of myosin II. Given their respective roles, why might activation of formin and myosin II be beneficial as cells assemble a functional contractile ring structure?

A scientist studying a group of somatic cells notices that when the cell cycle is complete, half of the daughter cells have no chromosomes and the other half have 92 chromosomes. In what phase of mitosis did an error most likely occur? Explain.

During anaphase of mitosis what seperates

Which types of cells have rapid rates of mitosis?

What effect does colchicine have on the percentage of cells in EACH of the stages of mitosis?

Some cells in organisms can divide on a daily basis while others do not divide as often. Which phase of the mitosis do you think would vary the most due to different rates of cell division and why?

which stage of mitosis takes the longest? Which one is the shortest? How do you know this???
