Hey guys and gals! This is a tough chapter to get through but you will make it!)
Here is a pnuemonic device to help you remember the stages of mitosis: Please Meet Alli Today!!
1. Please, stands for prophase-chromsosomes condense, nuclear membrane dissolves, centrosomes move to opposite poles, and the spindle forms.
2. Meet, stands for metaphase-condensed chromosomes line up along the equator, spindle fibers link the chromatids of each chromosome to opposite poles
3. Alli, stands for anaphase-spindle fibers shorten pulling the chromatids toward the poles of the cells
4. Today, stands for telophase-nuclear envelope begins to form at each pole, spindle dissolves, chromosomes uncoil.
Take a look at the picture, which phase does this represent?
If you answered anaphase, you are correct!! Post your reasons why this picture depicts anaphase.
