The S Phase, with the "S" being synthesis.
The short second phase of mitosis is called the metaphase. During metaphase, the duplicated chromosomes align and attach to the spindle fibers at the center of the cell. This alignment ensures that during the following phase, anaphase, each daughter cell receives an equal number of chromosomes.
Chromosomes are duplicated during the S phase of the cell cycle, which occurs during interphase. This is when DNA replication takes place to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes during cell division.
Chromosomes can be seen in the metaphase stage of the cell cycle, when they align along the center of the cell prior to division.
Metaphase
The phase of mitosis during which chromosomes move to the middle of the cell is called the metaphase. In metaphase, the chromosomes align along the metaphase plate, forming the spindle apparatus. This alignment ensures that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes during cell division.
G1
A diploid cell in G1 phase has 46 chromosomes.
The short second phase of mitosis is called the metaphase. During metaphase, the duplicated chromosomes align and attach to the spindle fibers at the center of the cell. This alignment ensures that during the following phase, anaphase, each daughter cell receives an equal number of chromosomes.
After the S phase of the cell cycle, there are 46 chromosomes present in the cell.
Chromosomes are duplicated during the S phase of the cell cycle, which occurs during interphase. This is when DNA replication takes place to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes during cell division.
Chromosomes are replicated during the S phase of the cell cycle.
The phase of the cell cycle that duplicates chromosomes before division is called the S phase.
During the G1 phase of the cell cycle, chromosomes are not yet duplicated and appear as a single line of chromosomes within the cell. This is before DNA replication occurs in the S phase and chromosomes are temporarily duplicated.
10 chromosomes in the G2 phase, as the DNA is replicated during the S phase of the cell cycle.
Ana phase
The phase of mitosis where the chromosomes are located at the equator of the cell is called the metaphase. Here, the chromosomes align in the middle of the cell, ready to be separated during anaphase.
Strictly speaking, the chromosomes are not copied during mitosis but already before cell division takes place. This phase is called INTERPHASE and is again divided into three phases, G1 (first gap), S (synthesis), and G2 (second gap). The replication of chromosomes only happens in the S phase.
