If Metaphase were skipped during the process of mitosis and Meiosis this would be very harmful for both stages because cell division would be hard to occur because Chromosomes are not lined up down the middle and the Spindle fibers can not prepare itself for cell division. In Meiosis this would be hard to create gametes because in metaphase one homologous chromosomes assort at random at the middle and this could not happen if there was no metaphase 1. It would be hard for diploid cells to then be reduced to 4 haploid cells. With out metaphase a non-disjunction could occur where Chromosomes do not separate properly and result in a Trisomy. Which could cause more diseases in our gene pool.

∙ 9y agoLoss of metaphase would cause great damage to the structure of the chromosomes. The chromosomes must line up in pairs and if they are not matched, the cell cannot divide.

∙ 10y agoThe sister chromatids wouldn't become individual chromosomes and the daughter cell might end up very different from the parent cell (which is suppose to be genetically alike in their DNA)

What stage in mitosis does the chromosomes uncoil happen?
During the telophase phase, the chromosomes begin to uncoil. There are six phases with mitosis and telophase is number four.
What happens during prophase you that does not happen during mitosis?
Prophase is one of the stages in the process of mitosis, the stages of mistosis are : 1. Prophase 2. Metaphase 3. Anaphase 4. Telophase. So metaphase, anaphase, and telophase are what happends in mitosis and does not happen in prophase. And what happens in prophase that does not in mitosis is that the sister chromatids that were formed during interphase have shortened and thickened and are now visible with a light microscope.
What stage of mitosis are the chromosomes most tightly condensed?
At the end of metaphase. I hope this helps someone who just might happen to be wondering! (:
What has to happen for cytokinesis to take place?
Mitosis or else a cell wont be able to divide or form Building off of this, you must go through the G0 G1 and G2 stages, each having a separate effect on the cell division, where mitosis follows, with P.M.A.T. or Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase happen. Telophase is commonly accepted as similar in function to cytokinesis, as in both the cytoplasm is dividing into the two daughter cells. Dont take my word for it, but this is what i learned!
Write a hypothesis about what you think would happen if cyclin were injected into a cell that was in mitosis?
The cell's process of mitosis would be accelerated or at least stimulated due to the bonds of each the cyclin proteins.
What happen telophase what is the final result of telophase?
Telophase is the last stage in the process of mitosis and meiosis. During telophase the DNA has been successfully duplicated or exchanged and the two cells are beginning to separate. This stage is often associated with cytokinesis, the final separation into 2 individual cells.

Process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells?
Identical twins are produced when a single fertilized egg splits into two halves that grow separately. Non-identical twins happen when their mother releases two eggs together, and both get fertilized.
What stage of mitosis are the chromosomes most tightly condensed?
At the end of metaphase. I hope this helps someone who just might happen to be wondering! (:
What is telophase's job?
Fourth step in mitosis where three things happen 1)nuclear membrane comes back 2)chromosomes turn into chromatids 3)spindle falls apart. :)

What name is given to the region where mitosis occurs in plants?
It is in the meristem of a plant which is located at the main root tip of it, the process mitosis happen. Mitosis is a process where the cell nucleus of chromosomes is split into two creating also two of their own nuclei.
What happen in each phase of mitosis?
well there are 4 phases and they are telophase, anaphase, metaphase, and the prophase. telophase is the last phase where everything is finished and there are 2 nucleuses. Anaphase is when the sister chromatids or x is split into different sides. Metaphase is when all the sister chromatids or x are lined up in the middle. prophase is when everthing is about to start.
Where in the body cell does Mitosis happen?
Mitosis occurs in the Nucleus.
How is cell division regulated?
In body cells, cell division is regulated by a process of mitosis which have five stages called Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. In mitosis, one cell becomes into two identical cells. Also in mitosis, the cells contain the same amount of genetic information (chromosomes) that its parent cell had (diploid). In order for this to happen the DNA must be replicated like in Interphase to form pairs so the can become into two identical cells. In reproductive cells, cell division is regulated by a process called meiosis which have four stages (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase) that only does two nuclear divisions. Unlike mitosis, one cell becomes four nonidentical cells. One cell has half the amount of chromosomes that the parent cell had (haploid). The reason why it has half is because humans need a maximum of 46 chromosomes. A reproductive cell must have 23 chromosomes in order to join with another reproductive cell or else the process won't work.
Where does the process meiosis occur?
Meosis occurs in gametes. It is a type of cell replication that happens in haploid cells (cells that have half the chromosomal number of a normal cell). It is split into stages: Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis.
