No, metaphase is the fourth phase of mitosis.

What phase happens only once in meiosis?

The phase that happens only once in meiosis is prophase I, which is characterized by the pairing of homologous chromosomes and the exchange of genetic material through crossing over. This phase is unique to meiosis and does not occur in mitosis.


The formation of a cell plate occurs in?

The formation of a cell plate occurs during cytokinesis in plant cells. It is formed by vesicles from the Golgi apparatus that fuse together at the metaphase plate to create a new cell wall between the two daughter cells.


What metaphase does nondisjunction occur in Metaphase 1 or metaphase 2?

Non-disjunction is the failure of a pair of chromosomes or chromatids to separate. Since this happens in both metaphase I and II, non-disjunction can occur in either stage.In metaphase I it is the failure of the two homologous chromosomes in the pair to separate. In this case all of the gametes will be affected.In metaphase II it is the failure of the two sister chromatids to separate. In this case only half of the gametes are affected.Non-disjunction is the cause of a number of genetic conditions eg Down syndrome, Triple-X syndrome.See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondisjunction


What does not belong cleavage furrow cytokinesis spindle fiber cell plate?

Cleavage furrow.Cell plate formation only occurs in plant cells. Spindle fiber is found in plant cells and cytokinesis occurs in plant cells.Cleavage furrow doesn't occur in plant cells and is the only one not to.


What does it called when the cytoplasm of a cell divides?

It's called cytokinesis. Cytokinesis occurs after the last stage of mitosis which is telophase (nucleus reforms, spindle fiber go away). Cytokinesis is different between plant and animal cells. In plant cells, the cells creates a cell wall through the cytoplasm and between the nuclei, splitting the "mother cell" into two "daughter cells. In animal cells, the cell begins to furrow in the middle and splits off into two. Without cytokinesis, complete cell division cannot occur. If cytokinesis does not occur and only mitosis occurs in the cell, the cell will become cancerous and hazardous to the organism that it is a part of.


How does metaphase 1 differ from metaphase of mitosis?

In metaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes align at the cell's equator in pairs, while in metaphase of mitosis individual chromosomes align. Additionally, in meiosis I, genetic recombination and crossing over can occur between homologous chromosomes, increasing genetic diversity.


What are the stages to meiosis?

There is meiosis I and meiosis II. The stages for meiosis I are prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, and cytokinesis. For meiosis II, the stages are the same, only those are II instead of I.


What 4 phases are found in the M phase?

The four phases found in the M phase are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. These phases involve the condensation of chromosomes, alignment of chromosomes at the metaphase plate, separation of sister chromatids to opposite poles, and formation of two new nuclei.


What are the stages of cell cycle?

The cell cycle consists of two main stages: interphase and mitotic phase. Interphase includes three sub-stages: G1 (cell growth), S (DNA replication), and G2 (preparation for cell division). The mitotic phase consists of mitosis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm).


What are the three phases of the cell cycle?

# Interphase (cell does its normal function) # mitosis (division of the nucleus) # cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm which results in two cells) The interphase is divided into G1, S, and G2 phase.Mitosis is divided into prophase, prometaphase,metaphase. anaphase, and telophase.Sometimes, the cell does not divide and it is in dormant state, which is called G0 phase. This is when the cell does not go through mitosis or cytokinesis and only does its functions.


What chromosomes align single file along the equator of a haploid cell?

During the metaphase stage of cell division, the chromosomes align single file along the equator of the cell. In a haploid cell, there is only one set of chromosomes, so all of the chromosomes will align along the equator before separating and moving to opposite poles of the cell during anaphase.


How is cytokinesis different in plants and animlas?

Cytokinesis happens at the cell plate in the plant cell It happens at the ceavage furrow in the animal cell.... The only similarity is that it is the microtubules shortening and tightning until itll eventually pinch the mother cell into two identical daughter cells
