What phase of meiosis is photographed when creating a karyotype?

The optimal phase is metaphase, since during metaphase all sister chromatids are paired and lined up neatly at the centre of te cell. A solution of colchicine is usually used to arrest dividing cells at metaphase so that a picture can be taken.

What happens when mitosis is done?

The stages are as follows: Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. A cell will normally spend the majority of its time in interphase (during this time, the cell prepares itself for cell division. Interphase has three phases: G1, S, G2. Growth, synthesis, and growth 2. As already stated, this is all in preparation for cell division. In prophase, the chromatids (genetic material) begin to condense and the centrosomes create spindle fibers. During metaphase, the chromosomes align themselves on the metaphase plate. During metaphase, the chromosomes are pulled apart. During telophase, the separated chromosomes begin to form two new nuclei and the nuclear membrane begins to form. Cytokinesis is the process during which a cleavage furrow develops along the metaphase plate and pinches the two nuclei apart thus creating two separate cells.


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 is the different between prophase in mitosis and meiosis?

In metaphase I the tetrads are again arranged across the center by the movements of the kinetochores with the two centromeres opposite each other, but this time the sister chromatids will not be pulled apart as in mitosis.

What occurs if a cell that is about to divide?

Mitosis (or meiosis in sex cells) occurs. The cell should have already made duplicates of its chromosome, mitosis is basically the alignment and splitting up of these homologous pairs, creating 2 cells with the same number of chromosome. Mitosis is broken down into 4 phases: 1.Prophase 2.Metaphase 3.Anaphase 4.Telophase Look these up if you want to know the specifics of each phase.
