Chapter 2, Problem 13CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The events that occur during the anaphase, metaphase and telophase stages of mitosis.
Introduction:
A cell undergoes a series of changes from time to time in order to reproduce itself, and this is called the cell life cycle. This cycle is divided into two major phases namely the interphase and the M (mitotic) division. The interphase is comprised of three phases, while the mitotic division consists of 4 phases.

Students have asked these similar questions
What is the time span of each stage of mitosis? Arrange the stages from shortest to longest.
1) Examine the picture of an onion root tip with cells in various stages of the cell cycle. A student claims that interphase is the longest stage of the cell cycle. Another student claims that mitosis is the longest stage. Using evidence from the photo, determine which student is correct and why.
A) Mitosis is the longest stage because anaphase requires more time to separate chromatids.
B) Interphase is the longest stage because chromosomes are visible in the majority of the cells.
C) Mitosis is the longest stage because the majority of the cells in the photo are replicating their DNA.
D) Interphase is the longest stage because the majority of the cells in the photo have uncondensed chromatin and are not dividing.
Not Graded
The anticancer drug paclitaxel (Taxol), derived from the Pacific Yew, has many effects on mitosis. One of its most powerful effects is that it prevents disassembly of the mitotic spindle, which prevents spindle fibers from shortening. Which phase of mitosis would this directly affect? Why would this stop cell division overall and lead to cell death?

- List in each blank the description of events associated with each stage of mitosis in addition to the preparatory stage Interphase. Some events and structures occur only in plant cells and some in animal cells. Mark these events in the list with an asterisk.arrow_forwardThe phases of mitosis are shown in Figure 6.4. Mitosis is the type of nuclear division that occurs when an animal or plant grows larger and when injury heals. Two daughter cells result because there is only one round of division, and it keeps the chromosome number constant (same as the parent cell). The prophase cell in Figure 6.4 has the same number of chromosomes as the telophase nuclei in Figure 6.4. Explain the different appearance of the chromosomes.arrow_forwardSpeculate about the following details of mitosis. 1. Why do chromosomes need to condense during mitosis? 2. Why does the nuclear membrane need to break down at the beginning of prometaphase? 3. Why do chromosomes congress (migrate) toward the metaphase plate during metaphase, and what forces keep the chromosomes there until anaphase begins? 4. What would happen if one kinetochore of one chromosome failed to attach to the spindle and the cell entered anaphase? In a general sense, how do cells normally prevent this situation? 5. During late anaphase and telophase, animal cells elongate to aid the eventual separation of the two daughter cells in cytokinesis. This elongation can occur even in cell suspensions, where different cells do not come into contact. Are the forces that elongate the cell likely to be pushing forces or pulling forces, and where do these forces come from?arrow_forward
