Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand the stages of mitosis: Mitosis is divided into several phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Recall the events in each phase: In prophase, the chromatin condenses into chromosomes and the spindle fibers begin to form. In metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equator. In anaphase, sister chromatids are pulled apart by the spindle fibers. In telophase, the chromosomes arrive at opposite poles, and the nuclear envelope re-forms.
Focus on telophase: During telophase, the cell is preparing to complete division. The nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes begin to de-condense back into chromatin.
Identify the role of spindle fibers: Spindle fibers are responsible for separating the sister chromatids during anaphase. By telophase, their job is complete.
Conclude with the disappearance of spindle fibers: In telophase, as the cell prepares to divide into two, the spindle fibers disassemble and disappear, marking the end of their role in mitosis.
