during metaphase and anaphase
During prophase of mitosis, chromosomes condense and become shorter. As mitosis progresses, the condensed chromosomes move to the center of the cell and eventually separate during anaphase.
The stage of mitosis where chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell is called metaphase. This is when the chromosomes are maximally condensed and attach to the spindle fibers at the centromere.
Yes, chromosomes are fully duplicated and condensed during the G2 phase of interphase in preparation for cell division. This condensed form allows for easier segregation of genetic material during mitosis or meiosis.
Mitosis produces two cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the original (parent) cell. For example, a human cell has 46 chromosomes - so after mitosis each cell will have 46 chromosomes.
Yes, condensation of the chromosomes occurs during mitosis. This process involves the chromosomes becoming more tightly coiled and condensed to facilitate segregation of genetic material into the daughter cells.
When replicating or during transcription, DNA needs to uncoil in order to give the proper code. When the chromosomes are condensed, it cannot uncoil itself to give any sort of message. In order for the cell to remain functional, it must be able to code DNA.
If an Allium cell has 30 chromosomes before Mitosis, then each daughter cell will also have 30 chromosomes after Mitosis. This is because during Mitosis, the chromosomes replicate and are equally distributed between the two daughter cells.
After mitosis, the number of chromosomes remains the same as the original cell. This is because mitosis is a process of cell division where the replicated chromosomes are equally distributed to each daughter cell, ensuring each cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.
Chromosomes are equally distributed during mitosis, specifically during the metaphase and anaphase stages, when sister chromatids are separated and pulled to opposite poles of the cell. In contrast, during interphase, chromosomes are not evenly distributed, as they exist in a less condensed form called chromatin and are replicated in preparation for cell division. Thus, the equal distribution of chromosomes occurs specifically during mitosis, not interphase.
How many chromosomes does each new cell contain after mitosis if the original cell had 52 original cell chromosomes?
How many chromosomes does each new cell contain after mitosis if the original cell had 52 original cell chromosomes?
If a cell begins mitosis with 36 chromosomes, each daughter cell after mitosis will also have 36 chromosomes. This is because mitosis results in the duplication and equal distribution of chromosomes to the two daughter cells. Additionally, each daughter cell will be genetically identical to the original cell and to each other, maintaining the same genetic material.
