Where do the twin chromosomes that split apart move to during meiosis?
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during the metaphase stage of cell division. The plane in which the chromosomes are lined up is called the metaphasic plane.During anaphase, the chromosomes move into the two daughter cells toward the centrioles located at the poles of the daughter cells.sorry that's not one of the answers to me knowledge im thinking it would be asters they move in the opposite directions chromosome numbers are the same afterwards.NucleiAstersChromosomesSpindle fibers
What happens in each of the 3 stages of the cell cycle?
Interphase- The cell grows and matures in size. It prepare to split into two daughter cells by making a copy of it's DNA. The centrioles are also copied.Prophase- This is the first stage of mitosis. The chromatin in the nucleus condenses to form chromosomes. The centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell. Spindle fiber form a bridge between the centrioles. And then the nuclear membrane breaks down.Metaphase- The chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell, attaching to the spindle fibers with their centromere.Anaphase- The centromeres split and the chromatids separate. The chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of the cell by the spindle fibers. The cell stretches out as the chromatids are pulled to the ends.Telophase- This is the last stage of mitosis. The chromosomes stretch out and lose their rod-like appearance. A nuclear membrane forms around each region of chromosomes. The DNA is then separated from the cytoplasm by a membrane.Cytokinesis- The cell membrane pinches in around the center of the cell. Each daughter cell ends up with an identical set of chromosomes and about half of the organelles.
What do spindle finbers do during mitosis?
Spindle fibers form a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell. The spindle is necessary to equally divide the chromosomes in a parental cell into two daughter cells during both types of nuclear division: mitosis and meiosis. At the beginning of nuclear division, two wheel-shaped protein structures called centrioles position themselves at opposite ends of the cell forming cell poles. Long protein fibers called microtubules extend from the centrioles in all possible directions, forming what is called a spindle. Some of the microtubules attach the poles to the chromosomes by connecting to protein complexes called kinetochores. Kinetochores are protein formations that develop on each chromosome around the centromere, which is a region located near the middle of a chromosome. Other microtubules bind to the chromosome arms or extend to the opposite end of the cell. During the cell division phase called metaphase, the microtubules pull the chromosomes back and forth until they align in a plane along the equator of the cell, which is called the equatorial plane. The cell goes through an important checkpoint to ensure that all of the chromosomes are attached to the spindle and ready to be divided before it proceeds with division. Next, during anaphase, the chromosomes are simultaneously separated and pulled by the spindle to opposite poles of the cell.
What guides the chromosomes movement during mitosis?
chromosomes are attached to what is known as the spindle fibre via the centromere. the centromere is normally towards the middle or the chromosome and is where the two sister chromotids join (so the centre of the x shape). the spindle fibre is made up of tubulin and is pulled to the poles of the cell (taking the chromosome with it) by the centrioles.
How do you tell if a cell has just finished going through a division?
If it's going under Mitosis here's how: 1) Prophase: The chromosomes appears. Nuclear Membrane disappears. The centrioles appears. 2) Metaphase: The spindle fibers attaches to chromosomes and the chromosomes make a line in the equator of the cell. 3) Anaphase: The spindle fibers pull the chromosomes appart, separating the two chromatids. 4) Telophase: The nuclear membranes starts to appears and the chromosomes again froms chromatins. Cytokinesis starts. Some Extra Information For You to Understand: Centrioles: The organelles that goes to the sides of the cell and pull the chromosomes apart. Equator: The middle of the cell. Spindle Fibers: The fibers of the centrioles. Chromosomes: The structure that is formed of two chromatids attached by a centromere. Chromatin: The form of chromatids when they are long a untidy in the nuclear membrane. Cytokinesis: The separation of cytoplasm in to two. Also You Should Know: A) Before mitosis, there is a phase called Interphase. In interphase the (think after cytokinesis) the cell storages food grows and lastly duplicates it chromatin number so both cells can have the same number of chromosomes with the parent cell. B) In mitosis "Parent and Daughter Cells" are identical.
What happens during metaphase in meiosis?
chromosomes move to the middle of the cell. mitotic spindles from the centrioles attach to the centromere of the chromosome
What are the functions of the spindle fibers and the centrioles?
The centrioles are similar to a railing at the two ends of a cell. The spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes (matching pairs) which are lined up in the middle of the cell. This spot is called the equator. The spindle fibers are also attached to the centrioles. The fibers begin to pull the chromosomes apart while holding fast to the centrioles. See the animation link below:
The functions of centrioles include?
Organizing the mitotic spindle in cell division. During metaphase the chromosomes line up in the middle, and in anaphase they start to pull apart towards the edge. Centrioles are responsible for creating/ organizing the spindle that pulls them apart.
What protein strands connecting the centrioles become visible during the middle prophase and are almost complete by late prophase?
spindle "a" They are called spindle fibers and are made up of microtubules. These fibers are released from the centrioles to pull apart sister chromatids during mitosis and meosisII or pull apart homologous chromosomes during meosis I.
What is the phase when chromosomes are lined up in the middle of the cell called?
The phase in cell division where chromosomes align in the middle of the cell is called metaphase.
What are the phases of mitosis including what he chromosome is doing in each phase and what the end products are?
1. Prophasea. Centrioles form and move to opposite poles (top and bottom) of the cell and produce spindle fibers.b. The nucleus and nucleolus break down. c. DNA is supercoiling into chromosomes.2. Metaphasea. the centrioles are at the opposite poles. i. Attached by fibers called asters to secure them to the cell membrane. b. The chromosomes are all lined up at the metaphase plate or equator (the horizontal middle of the cell) c. The spindle fibers from the centrioles attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes. (The middle of the X-shaped chromosomes).3. Anaphasea. The spindle fibers pull the centromeres towards the centrioles. i. This causes the double-stranded chromosomes to rip into identical, single-stranded halves.4. Telophasea. The chromosomes are at opposite sides of the cell now. b. A new nucleus or nuclear membrane is formed. c. Spindle fibers are gone. d. The cytoplasm gets split in half to fill each new cell. e. The cell membrane grows and pinches in the center, called a cleavage furrow.Now there are two "daughter cells" with identical DNA in them.

Which phase involves the chromosomes lining up along the equator of the cell?
Metaphase 1 is the phase of mitosis when the chromosomes line up along the equator. Homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell, then spindle fibers attach onto the homologous chromosome.

What are centrioles?
The centrosome is a place inside the cell where microtubles are formed. inside the cell centrosome there are centrioles wich are made up of a ring of nine microtubules. these centrioles are only found inside animal cells. plant centrosomes function very similar to the animal centrosomes except for the fact that they do not have centrioles. They also play an important role in mitosis.
