Microtubules attach to kinetochores. All chromosomes are aligned on the metaphase plate. The nucleolus disappears. Chromosomes condense. Sister chromatids split. The chromosomes move toward the equator by action of the kinetochore microtubules. Centrioles replicate. The nuclear envelope disappears. Spindle fibers form. Centrioles are migrating to opposite sides of the nucleus.

- which of the following would indicate that a cell is in metaphase? Thin, threadlike chromosomes are widely dispersed in the nucleus. Chromosomes appear as dark granules in the nucleus. Centromeres of chromosomes lie on the equator of the cell. Two sets of chromosomes are present on opposite poles of the cell.arrow_forwardMETAPHASE CELLS:Find and observe a metaphase cell.Sketch or paste it on the rightANAPHASE:Find and observe an anaphase cell.Sketch or paste it on the rightarrow_forwardMitosis: Events Name the phase of mitosis in which each event occurs. Each answer choice is used once and only once. Chromosomes line up along the cell's Metaphase equatorial plate. [Choose ] Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Chromatids, now real chromosomes, move to opposite sides of the cell. Telophase Prometaphase Prophase Chromosomes shorten and thicken. Nuclear membrane forms.

G1, S, G2, interphase, and mitotic phase. The mitotic phase is divided into prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. G1, S, G2, and Mitotic phase, which contains 7 stages: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis, and interphase. G1, S, G2, Mitotic phase, which contains 6 stages: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. G1, S, G2, and the Mitotic phase, which is divided into mitosis, which contains 5 stages (prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase), and cytokinesis.arrow_forward
