What phase happens only once in meiosis?

Interphase only happens once during meiosis. Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis all happen twice.


What are the stages of cell cycle?

it is interphase,prophase,metaphase, anaphase and telophase and last cytokinesis


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 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.


The formation of a cell plate occurs in?

A cell plate forms during the process called cytokinesis. "Cyto" is a Greek word which means cell and "kinesis" which means movement or motion.


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.


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.


How many divisions take place during mitosis?

mitosis occurs in the m phase of the cell cycle and does not consist of any divisions. Cytokinesis is the actual division of the cell into two daughter cells containing identical genetic material. Cytokinesis almost always follows mitosis but is not considered an actual step in the process. So to answer your question, in cytokinesis there is one cell division resulting in two daughter cells


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.


How many rounds of chromosome replication occur in the cell?

how many rounds of chromosome replication occur i the cell pirior to mitosis


How do cell that do not undego cytokinesis differ in appearance from cell that do undergo cytokinesis?

Cells that do not undergo cytokinesis will have multiple nuclei, while cells that do undergo cytokinesis will have only one nucleus.


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
